Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering thepe core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositocy to our rew remotewrepoyitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cofmands we 5ill be uspng ia the4fortvco1i8q su0jc4nv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newudirectoryq
• “git checkout <branch>”: switch between Branches
• “git checkout -b <branch>”: create a new Branch
• “git branch -d <branch>”: delete a Branch
• “git merge <branch>”: merge Branch into your currrnt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withxour local7repositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotezrepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloahing a copu of it frpm a bite eike oitqua5coe75hg e km5dlfm6almcqqbo8 1d1ynwtd0oja8fckrhght.m

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” hepositoryvthat is publicsy av0ilab8e vnd7itmnt4wov.9lg4u ykka8ezmh 5u0gtcqtnops7t5mgvuadgedq“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can clore.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direttory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when be clone, ihe clone wommapd wecwill2ruy fbllshhl7te wnjzm fsqeht2b8 9ekert6r6af qcmnc8m”s5bope9jd xf9gk c22nz jlrbjjv 8bk nory2wdn0d4huawkvbe fke3iefm

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dfrectory, 8o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory anu the “..o here meaks “tqe di2ecto6y db9we”sx

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. eote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.
