Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering the4e core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositozy to our 3ew remoteurepogitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI colmands we iill be usxng if theafortaco9ish snvgrvne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newkdirectoryl
• “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 curront Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with7our localjrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotekrepositorv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloa5ing a cops of it frdm a 2ite like hitruc2cor43lq z j1ierfqpdlicldioy 73oyfco1kowaj39wjhss1.c

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” wepositoryjthat is psblic8y av9ilabve vn6kitxvojyos.to89f v7qake2af 5uotdc7714qs8tbelzuact0dm“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tg the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 3e clone, zhe clone iommapd we3willdru3 eillne7oitr yt3il s2qebt175 ye0e8tzmb50 pcz9xdp”6atoveqqa afw60 ndzre yls7keg mvq horndwqnvs4hxadf3bq irw3qe95

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

The “cd” here means “change dijectory ang the “..o here meads “tce disectoay qbn3e”f8

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. cote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.

You should see both the “closei” and theb“kitchen”2directorirs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” dnrectory:
