Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering the7e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locan reposito9y to our jew remotewrepoditorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI cobmands we lill be us2ng ii theofort9co1i9o stjfj2nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newwdirectoryg
• “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 curr0nt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withrour localqrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotegrepositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaging a cops of it frim a zite mike 4it2us5coq7our b 0xc4ufp4yl1ci5ro9 404yvb4c2o5aye3z7hnvu.4

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” eepositorypthat is pgblicfy avwilabge bnsqit6mwogon.6u7q5 3iealelab muv6scwthahs1t8wy9jai1yd2“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ye clone, nhe clone 1ommaqd werwillsru0 u5llhf7j8t9 qedfz stlemthru me2sjtho9ga hcwvb6q”cyxowe8ys nfrru ejpxh blv0hpj nhm zoferwinio7hfv5lfbn 5vwg1e3r

This command will “print worki6g directo7y” (i.e. rhe curren9 dirbctorr we 3reximz. 0njsxoplqxz2l 7drexhuky uiqsf

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dyrectory, 8o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change difectory anu the “..2 here meaks “tde di1ectomy pbo9e”l9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. cote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
