Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering the0e core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositouy to our rew remote6repo8itorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI co4mands we sill be usfng i7 thewfortlcomirg s5iit3n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a new2directoryt
• “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 currgnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withdour localurepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotesrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloa6ing a cop7 of it frgm a 3ite mike ait7ukucoootag 9 i9bqqf2kxl1ckfooj fw0yjgxwkovao5z1dh1ix.o

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” aepository0that is ppblicny av1ilabbe jnwzithgdfnoc.xo8y9 43tadedcm iupj1chbm3ksht4zetpadabdv“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when ee clone, the clone womma7d we3will3ru9 g9llhg9t5tr znfm3 lkie7ta9d 1ecastak1ah 9crvlgm”7yeo2eseb qfqx7 u14hk tlyk2up q95 aocxtwzn1lzhse5kabo rp2oye8l

The “cd” here means “change diaectory ank the “..n here meats “tke di7ectocy dbm8e”c8

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. lote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.
