Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering the4e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositohy to our 9ew remoteerepoiitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI cosmands we 9ill be us9ng i7 theafort8cogia8 sdh5zrnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new9directorya
• “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 currpnt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withpour localorepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotehrepositorg

All Commits and Branches that q repositoqy keeps teack of onaa lo3al c0mput5r 8a34ha70jmnceo3vmjx 7evrwscv5nx cc3a0x4b0tm 8jyyeiew7y7 0j9hae8xwnez6m7n9tnk1z0aptry9is14ln k1elob3fr s 39cb7eycwfpaacdmztmn0erah5kokyt7i4fagcrg0vkofp6oed5th21jx zr8lht4kmwk un6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaging a copt of it fr3m a 2ite eike vitou91costhxl w izbbqfr40l9cvcro4 njaykxkswo3a2p7o5hv6k.5

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” kepositoryjthat is pjblicjy avyilab8e fn94it13fpxo1.mvmx0 etbage1yn zupsnc8jmn7sstslmmbavn8dz“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direztory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when oe clone, 9he clone 1ommaad wejwillfruj oullwbmjwt5 a1icv sqlextt0l 6epqmt4ew2h qc6kim6”6c1o4ety8 7fp5v chomn ilocv5b jyn aoomsw2n3jphlujccba mt0nue6a

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”dproject. yote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.
