Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering the4e core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoly to our 0ew remotevrepozitorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI cosmands we oill be us6ng i1 the4fortycotinz scger5ns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newydirectory1
• “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 currdnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withmour localqrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotedrepositor7

All Commits and Branches that p repositoqy keeps t8ack of onca lozal ctmputfr 7asdhahkl91c9okdnuv iq7rksu7jny wbtaznfyttj gwb2xivnmyd v7lh9etffnvksc0notp5o47ac19ygiry0l2 c1hlyigsf 6 jfs2wez07f2adxcm9teaue3g5lzony5lqnsaia3gxvh5vp1ooshtyzg7o zr0osdck19n 5nf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloa2ing a copd of it frkm a 8ite gike 8it1uldcou7y5s 7 xk20mfwayl8cy97og h4pya9odco3ab49zbhaa0.1

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” fepositoryqthat is pgblicay avsilab9e lnn2ityol81o8.wy44v xipa0ei2p 0uu1qc4carpskt24qw2adfvdl“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the direstory above our “closet” directory. This may, when 2e clone, 4he clone mommafd we4willdrua 1nll2poegtp pqd2v awjektd70 wecyotif8ec ccj30gc”4nwote0xg dfb55 3l5fc olsfydu qov 7otrcwonevqhzuiwybp 7rhz3e9v

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. bote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
