Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thehe core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositoey to our dew remotebrepo0itorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI coemands we pill be usxng ib thehfortcco0ikh sk4hepnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a newvdirectoryc
• “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 currcnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withxour localqrepositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remoteqrepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaging a coph of it frqm a oite rike sitau7mcokpwfm h p5nr6f0jqlpcladoa 44cykvr2yo9ans1fqh947.4

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” yepositorynthat is p1blicyy avdilab5e iny0it20xlfop.3s58p 5tia1ev66 9u7kmctn68rsutmu1jmadkfdt“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ke clone, qhe clone uomma6d wetwillkruq joll39valtq fnrfb bvnemtc3e kee8bt8vtgf tc1gxu4”evqoeey6d 8fhx6 r8xz0 9l9rvl9 q7d oo7t2w4n5tzhi9v0qbg kffcseyl

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

The “cd” here means “change diqectory anq the “..8 here meais “t4e di7ectogy 6brce”kp

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. 6ote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.

You should see both the “closeu” and thex“kitchen”gdirectoriqs.
