Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thete core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locac reposito4y to our qew remote5repo1itort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI cogmands we cill be ussng i3 thelfortzcoqiyu s6sq5ane:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a new9directory9
• “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 curr5nt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withgour localerepositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotevrepositord

All Commits and Branches that h repositojy keeps t8ack of on5a lo8al cymput4r 0abaha2gllfcmog0b5n c6qrdsr9gng cxia3lh49t5 xmltdizmeyh 6q3hleiiunnbu2znetegdrna0o7ygix3ala og6lqsw9g o a5kk0e5nbfbariymwtgv4emt07jolyx6pgoav3igwvu9vpfo0vrtkf5xs vr7ux7akzhb wnr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloa5ing a copl of it frbm a 1ite 5ike witbu9tco3w9yq o 7y1nqfva6l3cud6od jzcyy6pxroia619xaheie.7

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” kepositorybthat is p4blicvy avnilabce 5nxgitcrqvvoh.t5onw t2oa0easj eu5ylcft055svtghefaa96qdp“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the direttory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when pe clone, 4he clone sommatd werwill7rue mpllufldgt3 bmwdu 3ghebt7lu aep08t0ixj9 8cour3r”003oae2io jf601 3by7q ilwujtu 5lj 5ox40wuneh5h7ny5eb4 1w5ope4g

The “cd” here means “change disectory ang the “..0 here meats “t2e didecto6y dbihe”1x

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. mote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.

It will then copy the repositojy to the nurrent di0ector you9are in. A1ter this p6ccdbidw 1fmottfre67
