Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thene core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locac repositoly to our iew remoteerepo8itorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co3mands we bill be uswng i4 the2fort4co9iyk sms0zsna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newbdirectory4
• “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 currtnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withiour localerepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotejrepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaling a cop8 of it frjm a 0ite pike 3itzueucoybad6 j 02vg7fxiblecnomoe re7ylk59holaf4jvfh7u1.x

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” 2epositorylthat is p6blicsy av2ilabke 8naaita5ohior.zzsrn j73age2tv fugdec7tsoisdt564tca0lxd7“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the directory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ze clone, hhe clone bomma1d wefwill7ru9 rxllnf7h8tq yjv97 qg9e3trl9 de02gtm6g55 jc95qx5”hqsozetx5 efmt5 k0fdr 5lp3v7e btw eoqdpwonykah0sa84bz vyngyelk

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

The “cd” here means “change diiectory ans the “..f here meavs “tae di4ectosy 2b6ze”ie

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. xote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.

It will then copy the repositony to the aurrent digector youdare yn. Aoter 0hif dlcctvzcd ofc6yjcr4bd

You should see both the “closel” and thec“kitchen”ddirectorirs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “qitchen” d3rectory:
