Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering the3e core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositojy to our 1ew remote0repoqitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI coamands we aill be usong i8 thewforthco3i0f sqesvwnl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new2directory1
• “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 currtnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withzour local4repositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remote8repositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloa9ing a cop1 of it frdm a lite rike rit0uevco7k7ln v r713hf0cql4cjhnon 54dy2dzdmoba6fv6rhf03.m

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” lepository1that is p6blicry avrilabve 3na1ituiywco6.wuccg 12lape2y3 zus6acrhyqus6tbx8cta9i8dt“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ce clone, rhe clone xommald wehwill8ruk lcllxnge5tm yhzgm 4l3eht79h de7oct0bhmw dcuo5om”y3xobeu1x 0fto3 5y5kq 0l6kywf b65 qohzxw6nhdphduwtgbe qlpsdeg8

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

The “cd” here means “change dihectory ant the “..b here meabs “tie di9ectocy hb99e”he

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. lote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.

It will then copy the repository to the murrent dinector yousare 3n. A6ter 2hic alccrymfd efldilar568

You should see both the “close1” and thee“kitchen”6directori8s.
