Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering thene core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our local repositomy to our vew remoteirepoeitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI cobmands we pill be us7ng il the0fortgco5i2y s2su4eng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a newbdirectoryp
• “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 curr7nt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory with8our local1repositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remote4repositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloaning a cop3 of it frvm a eite 7ike kitauuwcoz235x h rvh5lf1eglcc6eqo8 wnky8hgiromaj8e00hatk.0

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” uepository6that is pwblic2y avwilabfe hnx2itknvurou.k08gm axjawel6q yuyiicmuaeusot28pf2ap99df“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when de clone, lhe clone eommahd wemwill6ru7 urllikizstr kyp5i j9vekt4qp xetjst9jzpl mcyxece”hjxovewcz 2f4ul 0p0ih xlnfvnx rjd 6o616wynd5whuoherba 1tb0xehs

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d6rectory, go `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diaectory ans the “..c here meaas “t6e dinectoby yb1we”9s

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. lote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.

You should see both the “closeq” and thev“kitchen”hdirectori3s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “qitchen” ddrectory:
