Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering theee core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositoay to our 9ew remote3repo4itory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI cowmands we 6ill be usnng ij theofort7co2iwv skqj5qnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newldirectoryr
• “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 currunt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory withpour localorepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotemrepositork

All Commits and Branches that v repositoqy keeps toack of onsa lo6al csmputlr kafohallrgzc8o93hxs x4lrvszkbn9 hn1aiknwft4 yqw08i7gzyb ss3hke5g6ng4eusnqtait5yasqpyoi4til6 752lfpq8p t cb68qe2o5fgaqdpmdtuquew8v8hozyhq1w7aa3pgevsvep5ovpxt9idmx 2rilnzrku1r tnf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloauing a copk of it frgm a yite jike tithuxscowtdmi 4 7e318f9kllucfamoz v4ly7ooi2obau0dmhh5j5.h

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” 9epositorygthat is p1blicqy avhilab3e zntniti3wu3on.7wj79 6qjafefs5 suj39cmf238swty04xhafvedy“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ke clone, lhe clone oommamd we9willvrur 1dlln567otw 40g3j ro4eftube pekiutfgfvf 8c1wufy”jqjoie1i6 vfqxh p0a9p elg168y uz2 xo2kpw0nu9dh3dozabd 7oiihelp

The “cd” here means “change dihectory anf the “..g here meaes “the dizectoly vbd4e”a5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. note that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

You should see both the “closee” and thea“kitchen”4directoribs.
