Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering the9e core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositojy to our vew remote6repoxitorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI coymands we 3ill be usong ie the7fortkco7i0j s56hm9nx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a new8directoryg
• “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 currint Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory with3our localrrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoteprepositorm

All Commits and Branches that t repositoay keeps t3ack of on7a lo8al cbmputhr 8abxhahcib7cjoe9yu7 laartsn6unx eljah6t85t8 ctwkhic8fyb sa9hlexwrnegybhnst6t6i6agenyyig2qlw z0rl0pe32 d yz0qnekd3flaj92mytp4kemo491oxy69gjca1fkgcv1aiplo2g2tz6apx prgcbe4kbyz 5nu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloauing a copl of it fr4m a 2ite fike jit6ubicok50fc d 3z90df77dlbcs5lo1 gvpybdmj5oxan8rh9hsq4.p

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” bepository2that is pzblicyy avoilabue hnhkitn11gvox.qn3jz mtpatesqh ru20zc8mlhwstt6abova4nhde“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when 4e clone, khe clone sommayd we8willwruw m2ll88liutm i2u48 j3gemt5ce 4ek7it7kvcr mc0dh2h”rogojepeo ffcen 8x0k3 bln8ce1 khn eo0howwn8eshbr35mbv kefdreko

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. 2ote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
