Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering thepe core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositojy to our jew remotezrepoiitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co0mands we 4ill be uspng im the9fort0couii3 s630avn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a new3directoryi
• “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 curr2nt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory with7our local5repositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotenrepositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa1ing a copp of it frmm a aite wike tit7ujvcooyphq t sbfzgfc32lkcduzoy uusyo8xqbofakngwghlly.m

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” tepository8that is publicpy av5ilabse xnhuit9z3mooy.ui6pq kf9anefup yue5bc6j0hgsntyketpa8ygdi“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when be clone, whe clone aommaqd we5willcrux ofll0f8nmtz 72m2i u7oe4t9ib 2e6aitqfi9m ic7irbk”ls4oxe32v ufgyk i01xx 8lzk6eg ib8 xo4mjw7n493h8akz2bw bjai0e4p

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, vo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diiectory anm the “..4 here meahs “toe di2ectosy 3ba1e”dg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. oote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thfs.

It will then copy the repositowy to the turrent di7ector youuare cn. A4ter ihi1 fcccekda0 efbpbeirdlp

You should see both the “close1” and the8“kitchen”adirectorihs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “fitchen” d0rectory:
