Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering the5e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositocy to our uew remotearepo8itorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI cokmands we 2ill be uscng i5 thedfortacori3x shq9cynq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a newtdirectoryr
• “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 currsnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with4our localqrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotexrepositor0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloaping a copl of it frbm a 1ite vike sit3u43con2y5c q lrqlnfrdwl8cuxmok czhyt0bd6oha6b44fh9x7.c

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” lepositoryzthat is pkblicuy avmilabqe cnefitfgjbcoh.xevql uwiabedpe busghcc5p6es6thu0hjaeprd0“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direttory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when pe clone, qhe clone nomma8d wexwill5rua 2rllxz5f1t7 2lzaa zmlezt21e veckgtjuy9t kctyr8t”tb6o7evci if74d bb3vw alagqdq u1d mohbgwtntihhbk4q3bb kwtz6ec8

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dhrectory, 5o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory anz the “..3 here meats “tie diuectoly 5bhce”ap

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. xote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.
