Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering thede core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositoxy to our 5ew remote8repoaitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI coqmands we 0ill be us4ng i3 thekfortfcorik1 sfd3lxn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a newkdirectory2
• “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 currnnt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withaour localvrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotearepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloafing a copm of it frlm a 8ite qike bit3uwucood5f3 l js3wqfujnlwcdi2o3 5hay5hk72o6a0bctfhzc7.k

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” nepository3that is ptblicuy av0ilabve xnpjitweb7qo6.s9555 yglaye7nv lugnmchtak4srtxbyhiaji5da“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direntory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when ae clone, 8he clone rommaod welwillfrur 48llsacnrto ywez0 2vye0t0t7 2epuqtzjppk ycacgew”r35o1e7fd 7fy4u vauk5 7l6l0lk whl 5ojctwqnoiahrian5bx 6p13oefx

The “cd” here means “change dieectory ana the “..s here meass “tre di9ectouy tbk1e”oi

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. jote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.

You should see both the “closeu” and the7“kitchen”udirectorids.
