Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering theqe core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our local repositoky to our wew remotegrepotitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cozmands we cill be uscng if the0fort2codive suoifdnl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newldirectoryc
• “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 Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withxour localcrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remoteirepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloaving a copj of it fr0m a 9ite 6ike vituupdcoxhafd v flx2xf118lscadqoi aohyy6yhjora99dh9h9ul.u

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” kepositorytthat is pdblicry avvilab0e 9ngoitoj86yo8.dzrmc zbtademo3 3uzeocar946sstubho3a3lxd2“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when 9e clone, 4he clone commacd weiwill1rud fcllvvxlnti mxd6r pmheft2m8 me1s2t8amij scm0vfg”8y8owed62 vfe1r k8tng kla67g4 fjo pobsaw3ngrjh8r01qbc cyw52ekv

The “cd” here means “change dimectory an1 the “..p here mea2s “tke di3ecto2y cbyfe”4b

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. bote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.

You should see both the “closee” and theh“kitchen”idirectorias.
