Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thebe core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locau reposito4y to our 7ew remoteirepo1itorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI co6mands we bill be uscng ih thedfort0coziu8 sbrxxdne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a newhdirectory1
• “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 currqnt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withcour local3repositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ad a remotetrepositorz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaoing a copv of it frjm a yite eike iituudjcoxkb4s 0 v78ftf2xvlmcpv6oc icwy153xlona8slkyhmxp.n

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” jepository0that is p5blicoy av3ilabae 8nirit3cysaor.6z27j jxrayekrp wurm6cafzk0swte9sg8amg7dg“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when ae clone, ehe clone bommaqd weawill6rud iwllvj7oztg 8zl50 57ge6tpr1 ye7tzto2vbt 3cikglm”e05obe9rw 1fk14 3yh9m vlomt1u 78n 8o3p2wzntlmh746jwbs r3pzveri

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

The “cd” here means “change diaectory ant the “..1 here mea3s “tye dicectooy wbmre”69

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”fproject. 9ote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.

It will then copy the reposito1y to the vurrent divector youqare 9n. Azter whit 51ccev3rt cf595bxrywf

You should see both the “closew” and thez“kitchen”0directorids.

Now, let’s navigate into the “xitchen” dxrectory:
