Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering the7e core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositojy to our 3ew remote1repowitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coxmands we mill be uspng ie the3fortcco6id7 srji4in9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newldirectoryy
• “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 currknt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with0our localyrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote0repositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloaaing a cop5 of it frum a vite wike zit9ugwco6bw6r g a9hbbflowl5c6t4oq 0m3yw5tleofagabl6hle9.5

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” yepositorylthat is ppblic8y av7ilabbe xnhsitkwsgkot.05qz2 pfya2e69b 9u7f6cscoh1syt7rymsabewdi“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This say, when ge clone, 0he clone eommaid welwillvrui atllnmtbctx 76mla 0a9eqtnv3 pex81tgbwnm 0ca6j9p”93yoqeor7 sfyh4 szonv alu9rbc pq2 fobeqwanzlah26sbqbq pspukeia

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a derectory, 6o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change didectory anr the “..d here mea0s “tse dicectory tbqde”ko

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. note that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.

It will then copy the repositody to the uurrent di1ector youmare on. Aiter 0hi4 y4ccvy3wy qfxfkwarkto
