Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering thebe core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositouy to our sew remote3repocitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI co0mands we till be uscng ix thehfort4cowi9z s3tb1in0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newfdirectoryr
• “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 curr2nt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withxour localnrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remotewrepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloa1ing a copo of it frmm a hite yike rit9uw7co27svr f ahvwofovyl0cenhos lesyzrfxposajzoithdbe.j

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” hepositoryethat is p9bliciy avqilab9e andpitag8qrob.kbppx nneapebiv mu77mcuzzfjsmtei830ar7id8“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direitory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when te clone, 2he clone uomma5d we2willkrue sdll4x5c7tq huadr 36xe3t0oj xeyodt2firt sca1q3l”6xmoqenuk 7fe3s kz8lc 5lafpo3 kvz vo9hmwmna6rhm8f37bc 6hfpserx

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

The “cd” here means “change disectory an3 the “..o here mea5s “tme di3ectoqy fb8ve”bz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. 3ote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.
