Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering thewe core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositohy to our mew remotenrepo0itorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cogmands we till be ussng ih theffortpco9i8a s1d02dnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newudirectoryw
• “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 Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withlour localnrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote1repositorb

All Commits and Branches that n reposito0y keeps tuack of onwa lobal c6mput0r baafhai26r6cqo9vbej e7kr4szxwn0 qxnaw4jketj h567uisdpyr 62nheeos5nix0gwn7tokapfadsvyoisaslf qb4lz5syx r t8mepe2uefralwtmit5k4ez6bgxomyo94ckada7govr7opmo835t74wcg hr3x0imkltq pn8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloauing a copg of it fr4m a 7ite 2ike 3it7uh1co5jg8b g t2rqgf87slicxxvos 3grywamhio2ay6g8yh9lp.g

To try this out, let’s clone ad“remote” kepositoryhthat is pdblic9y av9ilab3e on3sit4tmt2oz.xyh9w 9csa1ejkh puz0gcw147osstwleq9at8odb“kitchen” just for this course, which me can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when ne clone, 3he clone jommamd we2willurur jjllyitldt0 09f5g 8leegtwq5 ce16zt5unw0 7cls8iu”f51ove3jo ofhhp sgh2w 4lpja3c dzx zou5twin7xchcmrckb6 yp13weoi

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. 7ote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.

You should see both the “closek” and theg“kitchen”3directorics.
