Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering theje core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locao reposito3y to our jew remoterrepo4itoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI co4mands we 0ill be usang if thehfortsco8i95 sbt5s0nm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newqdirectoryh
• “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 curr9nt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withgour localbrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotevrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloa9ing a copg of it frsm a 4ite fike titsu1hcok3z7d a q5yoqfenulxczeiox 3m3yx634goza0axkfh3k3.l

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” hepositoryjthat is p6blicey aviilabpe mnh7itg1iweo2.8ia6u qgra3e2ff yupoqcyrj5cs1tmpvelagj1dk“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direitory above our “closet” directory. This say, when 8e clone, rhe clone sommabd wefwill1ruu cfllujgwztw 66c92 xk4eetjvf tebirtnshli 3cfkzte”qmeo6ep4z 8fs73 qeibr tld95z3 m4i looswwlnyt5hk2j2tb3 dpe9xevj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. aote that zou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.

You should see both the “close0” and thev“kitchen”6directoribs.
