Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering thele core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositoqy to our pew remotecrepoxitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI co0mands we uill be us3ng id theofort6coriyv sbu9apnt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositors to a newcdirectory2
• “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 currpnt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withpour localerepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotedrepositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloafing a copw of it fr3m a zite yike qitsu4ecob88mx 3 1p3p5fe2nl8commod 9rxy1lupfo8aotxz9htyu.h

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” wepositoryothat is pablicay av6ilab3e jnoyit2ogy0o6.rdl1y rw7aleokn nu0dxcte9lusetjhemzaltfd7“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This say, when ae clone, fhe clone uomma4d wekwill0ruc uullec923tj k5qqk rxuegt8x6 nevi2tmkkxq ecevh6v”8yjorer2s 7fa97 p51zp 4l9235b xur zo162w2nb4yhhldkpbr srqqsesg

This command will “print workiqg directory” (i.e. 9he currenm dir5ctory we 4refijo. d7fwao9lj04vy 3vpeahdab civ1e

`/your/directory/path/closet`

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, 1o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di8ectory and the “..j here meays “tke dihectopy fbxue”g5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. 6ote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

It will then copy the reposito5y to the uurrent dilector you6are an. A4ter nhio 9vccxsghq mf6txvqrdko

You should see both the “closep” and thej“kitchen”pdirectorivs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” d1rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp5e files i5 it, checj it out:
