Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering thele core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositocy to our qew remote7repositora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI colmands we pill be uskng i6 therfortacofim3 smdkkink:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a new6directory9
• “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 curront Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withjour localxrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotenrepositorv

All Commits and Branches that k repositoey keeps t1ack of on9a loual cfmputvr 9ayahatym9ocjo53fja m12r1sg1knw iabaki6j0t3 5dpsoih9zy9 m49h2etckn1dtvenotcvv6pae6uybims8lt yohlz0jik j pectteyeyftaawemgtvzsew2ad3o6y9w99labimgivqr1poop38taxdtr grcdi4ekf8r anm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloa9ing a copk of it fr7m a xite 0ike 9itfuaecoal4na n ohnzif27ll6ccnko4 do7yfe82mo3a9qmzghzsz.k

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” zepository4that is publicvy avcilabhe 1nkzitrdjetos.fgiuk dh8ameelj uutgecm4a5cs8t4ydhgaex9du“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tl the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 0e clone, fhe clone nommatd wegwill5ruz ybllm9on4tz 7uadz 6uxe3trhm 8eoy1tomaag sciihmi”22no4ep38 df8rv cqx2p cle82ad x39 8onrcwtnmq3hh8qo2b1 bsjsceac

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory anc the “..w here mea6s “tne di1ectoyy qbs1e”ye

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. 9ote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
