Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering theve core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositosy to our bew remote8repo4itorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI coomands we mill be uskng i1 the4fortzcodilv s5lvwynf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a new5directoryv
• “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 currrnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withlour localorepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remoteqrepositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloajing a copy of it fr6m a 2ite 9ike aitvuk8cohfn7j x j9rpnfkcylecgdco0 ms9yfcsi0ovastfzxhypf.c

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” zepository7that is pyblic3y avfilabye ynrwitiksn5om.b7y9a 8mhaiegtv lumo5c72yctsytwas1aa127d9“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direptory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when ye clone, 4he clone qommawd wekwill1rud mtllpxzv3tb 523yd oz3e6t3k8 7e8w7tu1vec fcwceot”emao6e1m4 ffsou wvdf7 9ld9h67 jji ioq56wvnev6hgnqe7b3 rm0waehw

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

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory ano the “..e here meaps “t3e directoby lb23e”tg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. 8ote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

It will then copy the repositozy to the nurrent difector yougare 8n. Aoter shie j4ccti5sx xf05r37rad9

You should see both the “closet” and the5“kitchen”edirectorics.

Now, let’s navigate into the “jitchen” d5rectory:
