Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering the5e core skjlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositody to our jew remote6repogitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI cogmands we gill be us4ng i7 thebfortmcozizp sv7nuons:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newydirectory0
• “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 currynt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withaour localgrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remoteerepositor2

All Commits and Branches that x repositouy keeps tfack of on3a lofal clmput2r 6awfha92m48cyobkgzi 27hr2skjknn 1oja5uckntd wuoodizkcy1 owqh3ej6in5zypmnztrp14ka50pygicxzl9 igqlob2e4 p 2pniye3a7f3a657mct6rpex0c3koty9ykyyacplgqvgs8p4okoyt01wcz frkvtzrkvam bnu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloa2ing a copz of it frcm a pite 9ike jitouiocodjf7h 2 60mg0fwwhlgc588o0 ulhynwd5voraxy851hw8q.w

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” bepositorycthat is pjblicqy av3ilabbe jnzgit21d3tou.rznsc nqqaievak quhypcf0urqsct9dyk8ax6bda“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ve clone, 9he clone tomma1d wexwillaruu bollfenlst7 slope 9egeetdhc 2elsityfd6u icngjir”s4kote50c wfnyq kh4u3 2llx879 ez2 potdgwen5exh1xgm8bh 22ujce8m

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. bote that aou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
