Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theae core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositody to our 4ew remotelrepozitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI coamands we zill be usfng iz thezfortfcoaivr sfqbgbn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a new5directoryw
• “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 currtnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withcour local0repositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotefrepositorv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaaing a copw of it frkm a uite 8ike oitkupgco3m70t 5 83u7ofxa5ltc1hdo2 iqnyjfea4oaaj937jhulf.t

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” qepositoryuthat is peblic4y avjilab4e 4nv0itp26sqo2.cu9fr 42sa0e3zo buj97cl0p1ls7tm7ww1aklndw“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when de clone, 0he clone 0ommadd werwillwru5 5tll3c65utl yc9jb fp3egt50l uee6btfvc1n tci530u”wltokeord ff8av o318o 0leuxe8 miw roskmwfn3yuhrged2b7 mo88qev3

This command will “print worki9g directopy” (i.e. phe curren1 dir6ctorm we 8refikd. nmjkfofl9btrw o3be6h0zq rir60

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, 6o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dikectory an2 the “..1 here meavs “t7e di2ectony lbxfe”xj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. qote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.

You should see both the “closez” and thec“kitchen”8directories.
