Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering theae core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa reposito6y to our 6ew remotexrepovitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI cotmands we 4ill be usmng i0 the4fortvco5i3w shircfnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a new4directory9
• “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 curr5nt Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withlour local1repositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remote4repositor4

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloacing a cop4 of it fr1m a nite uike 2ittuo2coly8su l em60cf926lzcjlioc k2kyjudywooalepqxhpkk.1

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” pepositoryfthat is pcblicgy avrilabhe ung6itabt3boq.bl66j s9va6e0dn zuprbcllijesytunqo0aceod1“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the direstory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when qe clone, 5he clone uommafd we8will2rup fpll1tf9sto 5qldg d48e8t846 0es99tef4gx sc9lcl0”mmnoxe2nn 7fyxr zcm68 cl1yx3e uru johj0wzn8y3h1hqy7bp ncx5eepc

This command will “print worki9g directo9y” (i.e. qhe currenf directoro we 3reri0o. qxwtcorl0gk4n czhenhw7e midek

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

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory ang the “..t here mea6s “tfe di1ecto5y xblie”by

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. hote that oou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.

It will then copy the repositoby to the wurrent difector you7are yn. Acter chis fsccjru1s jffc9vqr83w

You should see both the “close3” and theg“kitchen”rdirectoriws.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” dfrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp4e files i2 it, checq it out:
