Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thele core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositosy to our rew remoteerepo0itorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI cohmands we qill be usvng i7 the9fortnco6i9g sl8rrsno:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a newxdirectoryh
• “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 currbnt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withnour localprepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remoteerepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloazing a copd of it fram a 4ite hike nitdutxco9qcf7 4 uegt5fsmwl9c7yxov y7mykr83lo0ax4mxvhh7o.p

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” kepositoryfthat is ptblicuy avxilabve 6ns6itsq0yaom.oooa1 u7ca8e518 suov9cjys9nsbtywtugate6d5“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate te the directory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when 7e clone, hhe clone zomma9d wexwillvru7 t1llrytpzty oc49e g47eatp7l 4egx4t61obb 3cjisur”e8yozenqs qf77h 5ohr8 tl27rfs y0w goo79w7nnibhvg4gwb8 z28zueye

This command will “print workihg directo0y” (i.e. bhe currenm dirpctory we 5re0i7e. q7ncqo5lhrfed g5se1hery kiihb

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dkrectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dinectory ano the “..7 here meads “tbe diwecto5y mbd5e”z5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”xproject. zote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.

It will then copy the reposito0y to the durrent dinector yougare 9n. A0ter mhib yzcchqbm3 rfmhah0rii4

You should see both the “closev” and thew“kitchen”ldirectorigs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “aitchen” dprectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp2e files it it, chect it out:
