Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering theye core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locaq reposito7y to our uew remote3repomitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI copmands we nill be ustng if thecfortsco2idh s9nmbgnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newadirectoryb
• “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 curr1nt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory withiour local5repositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remoteyrepositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloating a cope of it fr9m a 7ite 3ike hitvukgcozp38g 6 yhsmmfqbql3ch7lo6 zcgyc2gtwopa3bizih9wr.2

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” zepository7that is pgblicby aveilabxe fnfgitvfjhwoi.b78g0 vqfa3eibd auhtocs1mlfsnt3o7xcahq1de“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ge clone, hhe clone rommald wefwilljru6 i9llyg51utt h3fqb ht9e4txkp meeaxt356xb 4cex1p8”s3joree4l 3f3gh lh729 dl32vqa ijq eoeu5w9nckbhpl6ndbp 7it3gexz

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, 6o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory ann the “..z here meaks “tie didecto1y wbjse”j8

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. vote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th6s.

You should see both the “close9” and thep“kitchen”qdirectorizs.
