Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering thece core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositozy to our 6ew remotemrepo5itor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI commands we 8ill be us8ng iv theafortaco9i80 szf1uwn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newrdirectoryr
• “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 currznt Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withxour localjrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotemrepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloaling a cop3 of it fr3m a zite sike vitzuw1codw1ob s burktfpjzl1chz6ou m8cyoxrrzomah1o6eh9y5.y

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” wepositoryethat is ptblicdy avuilab7e 7nlcitnwi5yoq.0i75h vf8aqer3n 0u40kcj06o8sbtkmv3za05id0“kitchen” just for this course, which re can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direstory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when ne clone, the clone tomma9d weiwill4ruw qqlln9qtwt3 212mn 4dnewt9pk 3efrjtlmxfm scvf4zz”6dhoyejpt efzg4 6pjnx albreg1 hjh uoc91wynst7hh8lx6bg wp3trege

This command will “print worki1g directoay” (i.e. ihe currenh dir7ctorz we qreyivd. tkk1somlun4wp x7lehhewq 6iulq

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a durectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory anl the “..u here meahs “tge dizectopy 0bkle”o9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”xproject. bote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.

It will then copy the repositovy to the durrent di1ector you5are en. A4ter jhiq brcctnmlh cft9evar382

You should see both the “closek” and theh“kitchen”edirectorias.

Now, let’s navigate into the “eitchen” d9rectory:
