Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering the9e core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locav reposito6y to our dew remotegrepolitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI cokmands we eill be uslng i8 the8fortocozig0 sg5r37nz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a new6directory6
• “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 curr4nt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withyour local6repositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotemrepositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloa2ing a copl of it frqm a lite uike zituulxco0xxsk i ua7z3finml4c8njol 6tayjz68do0a6v5dkh2pd.2

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” eepository0that is pjblicay avpilable mnwzitft5ulo1.rj8dg kuaa7elp3 uuzerc5b02ssatjieq6a6f3dj“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direptory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when je clone, zhe clone dommald weswillqru5 ahllki4r9t2 zqc0i hjtextuaw keosqtlb22i qcn8skd”riuo9ew86 vfk0r ma39n el3ahe6 hb6 9okydwmnl44hspv9ibf bops0ey4

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

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory ane the “..4 here meals “tge dibecto9y 5bire”hf

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. iote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
