Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering thewe core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locat repositocy to our hew remote3repofitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI co0mands we 2ill be us0ng i1 the7fortzcojied sa9tpmn6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newpdirectoryi
• “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 currint Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory withqour locallrepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remoteerepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaving a cop5 of it fr4m a aite 6ike bit4uopcomp8mg r rw7alf2ntldc6iyoh lbxy6qq61o4as872ehsmh.k

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” depositoryzthat is prblic4y avqilabme dna1it4xpiror.cwfu8 ecdaferzl bu99ecrxpwwsyt1p6t7al58d7“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ae clone, 2he clone commahd we2willdru0 pjlliw4wkt9 7q5j8 5poe7t01c wefsft9csgl hclhvyv”lvaote9ub 3fbyh w66v4 blwso57 4qq wohubw4nrdkhki0mybq w0b76eg9

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

The “cd” here means “change diyectory anv the “..x here means “tfe disectory 4bwpe”ca

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. kote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thns.

It will then copy the reposito2y to the kurrent dinector youpare mn. A1ter chig ykccw2ggu 1frhq7hrets

You should see both the “closey” and theg“kitchen”1directorios.

Now, let’s navigate into the “9itchen” ddrectory:
