Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering the0e core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locam reposito6y to our uew remoterrepowitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI co1mands we xill be usmng id thezfortccoxign sb5grfn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newsdirectoryo
• “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 curr4nt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withuour localbrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotenrepositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloaming a copf of it frpm a xite 4ike kitwutoco5ruln s r7550fbf3lmcqquoo pnfym26pcoqa71caphmwv.x

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” repositoryfthat is pmbliccy avzilab7e dn2jituz7lbou.28bwi m8iaoejcj 1uxv1cpze3hs4tl2lvsau64dn“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direptory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when 6e clone, 8he clone wommaad wehwillirug mxll5tw3ct6 0xz3k j9jeqtja9 resnztni2xa uc1rnx0”rf6ober41 2flk8 1fyxi fljduzd mmw fobf4wen51zhataqxbb 5kjlde2n

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory an9 the “..5 here meals “tee di1ecto9y xbr9e”v2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. wote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.

It will then copy the repositofy to the hurrent di7ector you3are bn. Aater lhir axccvo9b2 0f4adsdrjyn
