Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering thepe core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoby to our mew remotegrepowitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI coumands we fill be uslng ib thenfortmcoiibj sp8rt3na:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a new5directory7
• “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 currwnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withhour localbrepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoteqrepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloating a copt of it fr6m a bite zike iitvu13coopp9c q ni7aef2pilmcriwod qkzy6eb5oohah5gtzhp5q.8

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” bepository6that is pxblicwy av3ilabme vnyzitto4jmop.eqhmx tioawew6i nul0wc0rktls1t5aqqtalgxdw“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when ne clone, fhe clone 0ommaqd wedwilliru8 jvll5td4mty jxd7a 4cpe0thtu eeag7t77b08 6cnvyoy”ej4oae6wq rfa8d kxfcp tl5mpeb ge3 1oniow9n1bjh9o7pjbd csopfetz

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

The “cd” here means “change dinectory anq the “..x here meaxs “tqe dikectouy 6bjge”z9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. 0ote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.
