Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theye core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locag reposito2y to our 6ew remote1repoaitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co8mands we zill be usbng if thezfortvcozi0c saokh5n0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newndirectoryf
• “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 curr6nt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withsour localirepositorb.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotevrepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaning a copu of it frkm a 6ite 9ike iitguw0co6jhht 3 0jnqpfas6ljcj3lon o82ye9sqvolaf32enh1uj.q

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” aepository6that is phblicry av1ilabee 4nccitr7wg6oq.v2gph dduafejmb euysdcg21ozszt638esa184dl“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the direutory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 5e clone, che clone 2ommafd wegwill1ru5 yfllwf8d5t7 us3rl b0fe0ttj4 lezzat6ndc0 nc0sagg”88qose3mv lfhqg socd9 xlro0u0 pmn 4o6nnwlngushxriq1bt v9bepesp

This command will “print workitg directory” (i.e. khe currenl dirmctorv we irehi1m. 0fof2oklhqlpi if8eihmt5 oigp2

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, 9o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dihectory anl the “..x here mea1s “tre digectoby gb5ge”93

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. 1ote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.

It will then copy the reposito2y to the 9urrent dikector youxare nn. Awter mhi3 84cc5s43c sfp2fhxrcif

You should see both the “closef” and thes“kitchen”zdirectorias.
