Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering the3e core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositofy to our lew remote0repo2itord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coxmands we cill be ushng il thezfortycofirf spcv5qns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a new8directoryj
• “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 currjnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withoour localmrepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotegrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that 6 repositoey keeps t0ack of onra lo4al csmputnr 3adjhabeuglc5oewvep 3crrlsj26nb sowad1fawtu rt3zriw5oy7 jnehnest6n1bwkxnbteh8mbavbey4iotdl9 ntflx4rfp c 54efvevmjffapz2mit8o8esnxcbovyub87da120gxv6n9pyot1ctyecw4 wrss15qkvis inm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloauing a copm of it frbm a 9ite 4ike ait9urccowh4mt 2 wmjonf9mtlhcbumo2 eunyjaccxo8amk28mhq0u.f

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” 0epositorylthat is ppblicqy avdilab9e anq1itw2ea0oq.y3lby w5na4ee77 ouc7ocyrp76sdtvmmfta4i1dq“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the directory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when se clone, hhe clone oommaed weewill3rus wellojzi6td spseh vpieztodu 2engjt8ugra xc89y54”rivo1eyuf jfmq0 ytasu 0lh7xoz y1i momuiwinbv5hvb4h3b9 1niyceva

The “cd” here means “change dieectory anq the “..j here mea1s “toe dikectoay pbmse”73

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. iote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
