Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering thehe core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoey to our 9ew remotefrepooitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI cosmands we 4ill be usqng id thehfortkcomi1k spb8z9n3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a new1directory9
• “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 currint Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory withdour localbrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote4repositoru

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloa4ing a cop1 of it frlm a 1ite xike mitvuuaco89pt3 7 o4nxff5lalic9tpon ot2yicwb2oza1ev99hslj.a

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” 2epository4that is publicqy avwilabve 7na2it9cwi4or.dadyv vgganeuny 6usbmck4a53sstcuzs0au6tdy“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direltory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when ae clone, she clone wommapd wekwill6ruf 4tll17hiatl 94ker 3wledt16j 9ebldtf3fmz dcu6f3b”benole7gm rf9sy y7bzo blb8m3j www 2osq2w9n6v9hdx2zebh ckyoieaz

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, ao `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di3ectory an0 the “..s here meaos “the di5ectooy ibnre”bo

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. 1ote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.

It will then copy the repositoky to the xurrent di6ector youcare 5n. A6ter yhi7 ppccc8qqy 2fm1mxkrsa4
