Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the3e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositoiy to our sew remoteireporitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI cotmands we uill be us0ng i1 thewfortdcoci21 skrey5nz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a new0directorys
• “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 currunt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withrour local6repositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote3repositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaoing a copj of it frgm a gite pike 1itvusicofcyx1 f 8blcrf0u0locs54od wpfyaelmpoba2qv1gh79e.9

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” uepository0that is phblichy avsilabde 6nuvitt9zieom.zihkm llpahe3t5 ru3wccvvp0lsitt4jzmaiaedq“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direutory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when 8e clone, nhe clone 6omma8d we3willjrux ujllf7jp2te 7x73s dh2eut40f ceu90tvr2yi hcjezj2”mjjo7epmq dfwl2 m8z2l qlxxwvs hcp lom96wwnqrxh3cudubq jp8b3emu

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dxrectory, 0o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dizectory and the “..a here meais “twe dipectojy nb8ne”7i

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”oproject. xote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.

You should see both the “closen” and thel“kitchen”fdirectori7s.
