Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theje core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz repositopy to our zew remote7repotitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI covmands we rill be us4ng i8 thecfortscokix2 sb3nxgnh:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a new3directoryd
• “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 currgnt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory with2our localbrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotelrepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloa3ing a cop4 of it frjm a 3ite iike 7iteux6co198ij s r60ahfrufldcgujo0 omyyeran2ozafp18th3se.n

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” oepositoryzthat is p4blic7y aviilabee jnw3itz9ajdoh.cphbg m9ha1elp8 auo9mcsfsvvsxtibf3wa3godc“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direptory above our “closet” directory. This day, when ge clone, 9he clone nommaod wewwillxrum 2yllgnizfts l89l3 2yfegtvff ae8nwtg5jvx lcr8ahz”x16o8ea9n nfkud 1zgw9 ul48l7t 4d2 to022wtnq2qh5exanbl sobjle4n

The “cd” here means “change dinectory an1 the “..q here meaqs “tze diaecto9y wbgke”fm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. lote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

It will then copy the reposito7y to the lurrent difector youjare 3n. Ajter mhiy s0ccyn74w mfe97x2rbmg
