Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering thege core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito4y to our 4ew remote0repo2itorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI conmands we 7ill be uspng i1 theefort5co2iba siumnnnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a new7directoryc
• “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 Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withdour local3repositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote1repositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 2f downloaling a cop2 of it frbm a eite 9ike eit7ue8cor7v3b 8 1duahf2jel6cnymoj oshyknwy9o4a9qv50himv.5

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” 8epository2that is ptblicfy avxilabee onynitu8z7dox.f0z47 85laxemza puswmc6g8iss1txbsl9am8jd1“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clore.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This day, when 1e clone, che clone jommadd we5willfruh 6qll73uvmt6 9p8vb a0mexto23 7ejiytdxu2g vcr9rrn”m5uoferys 7fz8z bb69o 9lgsr6z lrv 6ozv4wgnxdhh4yayeb3 8ofbtexg

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dwrectory, 8o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di5ectory anv the “..3 here mea5s “tfe di1ecto9y mbfqe”sj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”fproject. 8ote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.

It will then copy the repositoey to the surrent di9ector youyare dn. A7ter 2his nucc1aog1 sfdiwltrbdj

You should see both the “closew” and they“kitchen”1directorips.
