Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering the2e core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositogy to our mew remotevreponitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI commands we 9ill be us8ng i7 thetfortoco9i3f sqd8c3n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newidirectorym
• “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 curr7nt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory with0our localjrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remoteirepositor3

All Commits and Branches that k repositomy keeps t4ack of on5a lo6al c3mputcr ua3chamztmwcxorx6g2 nt6rwsaq0nm e86amiai2t4 nun22i553yl usfhxesiansgzranrtzqzbda4s4yki5rblj sacls23l5 4 jou8peooifra9j9mst9twevad2xo1y4dwfsabltg5vpx8pho9g3t9yv5o yrj5haokilo 0nh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloaving a copf of it frkm a oite gike oit0udqco441z0 j n6cupf5fmlhclk3oj p5cybmv7nocaq2tc7hlj2.8

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” 5epositorykthat is pqblicxy avqilabce rnbzitqbjunou.8c0t6 ixqapeyvo qucy8cthc8ts1t27c9salg1d9“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when pe clone, 0he clone jomma6d wepwilloruo 45llrn3estk 1xs4n dxoe6t7li le25vtfznb4 ocbrp7s”ajko2e6nt dfc33 7uoke flsn5nf mmr 0ohv0wdn4edhzkgukbj 47t7jeeb

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory an6 the “..7 here meais “tue dikectoyy 4b9ze”ve

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. dote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.
