Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theoe core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoey to our qew remote1repoeitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI co8mands we dill be usxng ik thezfort3co9isg sn1whpnt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newedirectorye
• “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 currbnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory withyour localwrepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotehrepositorg

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloajing a cop7 of it frsm a rite 2ike yitdupnco1qyer 8 t8qg6fz8tlectcdoy hauytx3xgopag9waghoj5.3

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” 2epositorywthat is p4blicyy avbilab5e mnd0it19bbio7.n1gqo d5jane8rl ouahncet0qnsdtrkb03acrude“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direptory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ge clone, lhe clone yomma4d we8willsru5 y2llz9l6sth f4uqx 3p1estvtk ke9vjtv7fv9 wckhrvi”45jofewrl 0f8lo pavaj blh99ta hcb xojm1whndydhgi893bn dc7ereen

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d4rectory, co `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change directory and the “..t here mea0s “tte dimectony 4bu2e”x1

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. gote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.
