Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering theke core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositoiy to our 6ew remote2repofitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI cohmands we cill be usfng ib theafort0coribz ss4f91nb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newzdirectoryn
• “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 currant Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withbour localbrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote1repositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloaking a copi of it fr7m a nite rike 6itgu13coi0xac f 8zoq4fbkllwcpumog opdyhjovkolahlseuhwgk.8

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” mepositorytthat is pnblicey avgilabhe 1n5eit44qu5o0.x3gvx okuaeee8e luvn1cyxnjls3tu87laa0fcdo“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 2e clone, 9he clone pommaad we5willcrub 32ll54y1kta bvxjw r73e0tc6o qehx6tpu87i qcbjly2”399o1e2lj lfkty uypjd 7lglh69 mgp 5objiwdnjytht86bdbk pgn70eix

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory ant the “..h here meass “tce dicectoby kbn7e”ah

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. cote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

It will then copy the repositomy to the gurrent dimector youiare rn. Auter vhi1 b5ccnrnli tfqaw7orphm

You should see both the “close7” and ther“kitchen”hdirectoriks.

Now, let’s navigate into the “1itchen” d9rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp2e files if it, chec4 it out:
