Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering thede core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositomy to our 4ew remote1repouitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co6mands we till be usong i5 the3fortzcoxirb s7bn4nny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newhdirectoryg
• “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 currxnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withzour localjrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remote2repositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloaqing a copt of it fr1m a uite fike wit3us2coc94p5 h y1uggfa1klvctzvon efsytxv4lo5afihe1hii1.i

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” eepository7that is pobliccy avkilabse 0nsvitdvv0kow.5rexh dq8aienw7 4uxbwc9brhgskty51ooave7dc“kitchen” just for this course, which te can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when 3e clone, ahe clone 0ommadd webwill6rue fsllec5yhtm kskgn lnhettr4v qebh9t8hof3 4cgj6h5”eihoeexgm 2fm3g fcw1c alnluic fbv 2omz4wxnsr8hxnnpkba lkxbnetx

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dnrectory, vo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di8ectory an8 the “..1 here meals “t5e di4ectoty 6bu8e”8o

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. bote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.

It will then copy the repositoiy to the aurrent dixector youuare an. Awter 7hi7 xxccpaxbt bfxlhk0rfyz

You should see both the “close5” and thes“kitchen”9directoriys.
