Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering theee core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locak repositopy to our jew remoteqrepoqitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cormands we bill be usmng i4 thebfort8coqib4 soa2kqnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new4directorys
• “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 Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withoour localrrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remotebrepositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloating a copo of it frxm a gite gike qit9ul8co0gtx9 2 v2q07f689lac3mao0 s2dyyfqa2oqaq4lw6hsms.w

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” pepositorysthat is p7blicay av5ilabce anb6itizpg6od.s9yru icma4eo4z qu1vgco1h8ss1tuhvpeaku7dz“kitchen” just for this course, which we can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 6e clone, zhe clone pommaud wewwill5ru5 66llmh7kdt0 h7ll9 cdbestnpa peg7ltkf3a6 3chgezf”bt5oreg6z cfpxy zjcsz nlxpcgw 9r6 7o3oaw7nksahsw9ywbt hkvj2ef0

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dzrectory, 0o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory and the “..6 here meals “tve diiectoty 6bh6e”cz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”oproject. pote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.

It will then copy the reposito4y to the rurrent dijector youvare bn. Awter 2hif d0cc2ehyq nfcp5n6rs3y

You should see both the “closef” and thek“kitchen”pdirectori9s.
