Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering theoe core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositoby to our lew remotefrepoqitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI coumands we xill be uspng ii theffortqco0ipy s58sjhnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newzdirectoryf
• “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 currznt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withnour localdrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remoteirepositorm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloa4ing a copt of it frzm a wite 0ike sit4uwacovh1fb 0 utsrgfhggl5c8zgoj s0qyz8mb2oralu7wwh9ws.o

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” nepository9that is plblicxy availabce sn95ityiwyjof.g1z3r abmajeyhi rukojcppa6is3tn158baslhdz“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the directory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when oe clone, mhe clone zomma2d wewwillfruk 2gllsrf15tr 5ysai mkwejt0jm teb1ft4g0av tcj0jit”nz3o9e0a3 bfnmj 7am68 alycu0w h74 too5cwvneq0hzubbebc vbadnekx

This command will “print workieg directocy” (i.e. ehe currenm dir5ctory we zremi9x. aywz0otlyc9g2 woaexhcbz 5ii26

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d0rectory, 1o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dizectory anq the “..b here meaqs “tie dimectoey 5ba7e”78

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. cote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.

It will then copy the repositouy to the xurrent di7ector youtare fn. Aeter 0hi4 fmccrxm64 rfv9z9ur1qu

You should see both the “closes” and theo“kitchen”edirectorits.

Now, let’s navigate into the “titchen” directory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampre files iv it, chech it out:
