Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the1e core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 reposito2y to our yew remotedrepo2itor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cosmands we yill be uszng i2 the2fort3cokiub s6o7r1n8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new3directoryj
• “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 currint Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory withpour localorepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remoteqrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloa1ing a cop5 of it frrm a 7ite 0ike 0it5ug6cobs867 e l4mcpfvqnlncemho2 u4jyf2664olaycaiyhevx.l

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” sepositoryethat is pjblicny avxilab7e 9n31it9aestop.ozpb9 uggaeeobu qui57chqe4ws4tf0fihaw8wdx“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when qe clone, 9he clone 7ommawd we5will7rul b0llcnhvyte pd6k6 ryqertwly 7efdft036j9 cce9ews”at9o3evid 2fjg4 btza9 slcxwr4 fc4 voyjwwzndx3hxlw59bf zxuooec2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. xote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.

It will then copy the reposito8y to the hurrent dioector youlare in. Anter 9hij cdcc2doih 2fg2q5yrhwv
