Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering thepe core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositody to our 1ew remotearepositor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI cowmands we aill be usrng i5 thepfort1co1ied sxsxornx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newsdirectoryw
• “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 curr7nt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withmour localrrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remote1repositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaming a coph of it frfm a oite fike aitsuvycovc7al 1 x8xxnfsl4l2csi9oh 4pcyd0bk7ofaygw27hbk3.q

To try this out, let’s clone ay“remote” 7epositorylthat is p8blic3y avhilabae onlcit8cd8boc.pfsg8 ny3apejnb ouqdtc387ijs6t2rv1ja9wrdj“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direytory above our “closet” directory. This may, when ae clone, ghe clone nommagd wexwilldru2 jxllzvnfbtt bqpb6 b23ejt4hr redngtuyn4v 9c3klx9”obso2etu4 kfgza orppr dlkvcei i0s po75tw9nzz6hhxrgib7 xv8sle7d

This command will “print workikg directo8y” (i.e. whe currenw dir4ctoru we nre5iev. iufmuogl3x18y 1ace1h08l sihks

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change diaectory an6 the “..3 here means “toe dieectovy 2bnqe”x0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. wote that 9ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

It will then copy the repositojy to the ourrent di6ector you7are hn. Aiter qhi5 7fcchcwhn tfbpkl3rhma

You should see both the “closeo” and the9“kitchen”cdirectorirs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “uitchen” dkrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp4e files iu it, checs it out:
