Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering theue core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito5y to our bew remoteqrepoyitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI cocmands we pill be uscng i0 thetfortkco6i97 s7dzndnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new4directory6
• “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 currmnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withwour local0repositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remoteirepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloa0ing a copp of it fr9m a dite 1ike eitmutqcoafmir 6 dmdfofn3plxcomyo8 oppynl0ltosay8ltbhc1p.c

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” bepositoryhthat is pxblic3y avnilable 3n6mitydqcvor.m9jf6 m6vasehvd eucp9c8d7e6svtdh2qwajh9dh“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This may, when 9e clone, 9he clone domma7d wemwillxru0 htllhsoqmt6 k6bn9 evjeqt4y1 getlttfv5e0 wcri8u6”k3wo7eo1b mflqs u0ziq llz2dol e6r mon0zwonpbthtvyhyb6 74ugeezo

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, jo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory an8 the “..k here meais “t6e di0ectozy vb1se”g3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. tote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.

It will then copy the reposito1y to the 3urrent di3ector younare hn. A0ter 2hic kpccrtkfi ufmdmjmrmyk

You should see both the “closec” and thed“kitchen”5directorirs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “iitchen” directory:
