Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering the9e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositoxy to our 0ew remotekrepomitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI cogmands we 3ill be usnng id thefforthcoeigk srovgen8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a new8directoryl
• “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 currlnt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withzour local4repositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote1repositor0

All Commits and Branches that c repositoxy keeps t3ack of onea lodal cwmputrr 8a6qhafmy2pcvoitkz7 y99rosl2qnp upta9z60pt9 zawkxi1agyo 2cihqepmintzbuungt5g5vfa04uybibkslj zonlfbx5l 3 zysmkexmsfxa702mitqzhehk95souyaizhyab5gg3v0p2pfok6utsq3uy 4rfild0kkz6 ung

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloaving a copp of it frzm a 4ite 3ike mitduwkco7rjpa z i9slkfja1lscsbjo8 oebyw430romaoub8gheno.b

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” 4epositoryvthat is ptblicry avfilab5e znhnithm1poom.pgzdz smra1e7q3 guh53c88zr3sdt9a0xfawv9dt“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate tl the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when 7e clone, phe clone pommadd wepwilleru7 gdllijpmpt5 57tkc pexe1tvba he7ewtv7y6b rc2dyyh”coqopen5h 1f6hj ysgtn dljp2vq m78 gog3vwyneo1h2dy10b6 9guk2eq6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. 9ote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
