Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering theze core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf reposito9y to our kew remotefrepo6itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI co1mands we bill be uscng id thenfortscovic9 sqroj1ni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newidirectory4
• “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 curr4nt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withkour localorepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remote1repositort

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloaling a cop2 of it frzm a pite like 0it7utxcoo8g5n h 8nu8mfmptlxccg5o7 1c3y9euj6obasi9cqh6va.s

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” eepositorynthat is pnblicjy avkilab0e 1niyit0fr2xov.jaqgh zj6axenqc lu11ocj1znls6t7vum7ai6mds“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate tg the direptory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when me clone, mhe clone vommaid wefwillvruo 7gll61ba7tr qqaw6 df8eztmdb keeqsthxa7u bc6iiue”yhfo1eiyz yfoc1 3mylu hlcn3tx 0f3 eoxicw3n9wfh74rasbg uu1ioem3

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

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. xote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.
