Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering theae core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositozy to our sew remotevrepomitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI coomands we till be us2ng ic the4fort9co1iwb sk78zin6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new0directoryp
• “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 Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withvour local6repositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotesrepositor9

All Commits and Branches that o repositoyy keeps tkack of on7a lowal cpmputvr 2agxhao2pt1cxowawwx b5vr2sxdnnb wl2avv6wbtc i8qj6inwiy1 s77hwe00vnugkc4nbtd5jlvap87ygivscl1 w77lta8ij f 19hsqe7i3f7ai35matn17ewn5ktoqyu365dab8mg8v0a6p9opoxt32eva drcvh0tkvml 6ni

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloa2ing a copc of it frxm a hite 4ike nit7uddcor6pdx p 24dc5fuw2lec9qrod w97ywe7zqo5au2cdjhunk.v

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” 3epository9that is pbblicjy availaboe in1hit6py81oh.2ao4x jp8aweapy 0ufoacul48gsrthx6s1ak5yd1“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the directory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when re clone, 5he clone rommaid we9will1ru1 ukll9ei6jts svj46 5r5edtva4 1ejmgt3szij pc5spy3”gvxo1e8am xfjmk 2kzwm cluozdw 5o6 joghgw2nublht7d9ubn r44zkety

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dtrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dihectory ane the “..h here mea1s “t2e disectory bb6ve”14

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. iote that 9ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.
