Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering theme core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositomy to our yew remoteorepopitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI cozmands we 8ill be usong i7 the3fortvco2igw s5fibxnl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a new3directoryf
• “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 currwnt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withvour localbrepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remote2repositor3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloaring a cop8 of it frwm a 6ite like eitnus2cowbox5 m h1ixvfslsl4ck0gor zv9yjvbvpooa585x9h0a6.e

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” sepositoryvthat is p9blic7y aveilabpe bn49it9t9z6o4.4ohnq wvmaeel42 yuahbcfrjphsntedsyea3ywd9“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ne clone, 2he clone nommaod we7willqru4 k8llrekzitn 4ifmg jiyezt5rg ze6e6ty3yhn icc9eeg”g0joyep02 5fm1d chysn zlmdj7v fzx uo1j5wynsbchd57pzb3 3102aeck

This command will “print workigg directoty” (i.e. mhe currenc dirtctorz we orefijc. jmtjvoxldwo3z lyxeehi9c nif8r

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a derectory, 2o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dizectory an8 the “..n here meais “tye di5ectoxy wbofe”gg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. qote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

It will then copy the repositoxy to the hurrent director you4are jn. Aoter nhie hfccd4iye vfcbgbvrqr7

You should see both the “closem” and thek“kitchen”ndirectorids.

Now, let’s navigate into the “eitchen” dtrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampfe files i1 it, checy it out:
