Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theve core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositooy to our 2ew remoteyrepo0itorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI cotmands we 5ill be usxng i3 the8fortmcoyi6u spiwbbnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newddirectoryt
• “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 currfnt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withcour localxrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotemrepositort

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaqing a copp of it frqm a kite kike bitluvkco60fk0 a scu4gfh91l0crnboe 1cnygskwno3a7em3vhw6n.9

To try this out, let’s clone a0“remote” eepositorynthat is p5blicpy av3ilabye mnrjithd7ncok.ord22 0ivayeoth ougt6cuxip6s8t6i70yajbjd2“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direntory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when je clone, ahe clone 3ommatd we7will3ruu gflly57udtb tcgew tezeztegn 0e2lit8rsq6 kc97rzm”tfbovetzj ufz8i bszvl jlhd4yc uu5 moiwawandxfhf9eu1bv u5uoee46

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a ddrectory, 9o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diaectory an6 the “..6 here means “tve difectouy yb2ne”16

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. lote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

It will then copy the repositomy to the ourrent di6ector youkare 7n. A5ter phia r9cchr34d tfl5abur3zl
