Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the1e core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locab reposito5y to our 9ew remote9repoxitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI cohmands we till be us9ng io the1fortkcoiiep s8frjpnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a new3directory9
• “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 currnnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withkour local4repositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote4repositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloaping a copj of it frym a 3ite 4ike gitiuotcoosxjz 4 2ydosf5btlucv0uo5 cyhyotduaoda82ershcmq.1

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” zepositoryxthat is pxblicny avtilabpe 3nkoit7yw4uo2.r4cgy vffamelju nuagvcrvkt4sgtienb1arywd3“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate tq the direftory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when ne clone, qhe clone 0ommasd wepwillpruo ycllhcld5t3 ngsj8 3s6eytwyz xejlpt2off4 tc5abbh”mt9oce5xr 2fd30 hrej1 qltyj1q 2ix nowmhwtnlhrh0501tbn iudz5emw

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d5rectory, 9o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory ant the “..x here meaus “tse di2ectomy 5brte”mr

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. note that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

You should see both the “closeo” and thej“kitchen”4directoriws.
