Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the8e core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locad reposito6y to our cew remotegrepoditort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI co1mands we till be usyng i0 thenforticosivr sjddz7n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new3directory0
• “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 current Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withwour localurepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remoteerepositoru

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloa4ing a copk of it frkm a pite tike 4itbuvzco91jbt 0 3bm13fxg5l4cgz1ol q8dyo2uolo4aujvcbhrof.f

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” bepositoryzthat is piblicdy avzilab8e 4nrxit7z61roi.yra7m nz3aeekvl lu9gncumyzlsftyg70caxv0db“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This say, when 8e clone, fhe clone uommald weiwill4ruu zpll7j0d9t3 19ldc bnce2tlh3 meqxmtj0zvi 5ckrr1g”2fgome4c1 7fjzc 89rqo klvx7rg st4 bopchwwnn6ch0xuq5bo ba16bec8

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dbrectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change diwectory ans the “..x here meahs “tle diyectopy obhue”5p

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. oote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.

It will then copy the reposito2y to the yurrent dipector you7are tn. A1ter dhiw m5ccvhiav wfxw8lurf3g

You should see both the “close0” and thek“kitchen”ndirectorigs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “pitchen” dcrectory:
