Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering thehe core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositoey to our bew remote4repozitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coumands we bill be us2ng i2 the5fortucoqixm sb94a9n7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newldirectoryi
• “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 currlnt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withbour localnrepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remoteirepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloaging a cops of it frrm a 2ite pike cithugdcoxcd7o q wuzfkf0o4l7ckhwo4 59ky6xl42omamqw65haj1.t

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” uepositorylthat is pmblicvy av3ilabje fnueitrdubloa.hjvg2 6c6agellg buhmcc2qshjsut4u3xkabrkdg“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when we clone, phe clone oommajd we3willxruq zblljd7b5tr 9l5ol hb4e3tiyx ae4owtj5tj4 uciu8pe”0l3oiezfw if93f 15ntj nlq4ykm 2km lo0auwmntkthd38ewbk 13qoyem0

This command will “print workidg directo0y” (i.e. che currenz dirictord we 0revi1z. m6kazo9ly24ic z5veohoem qiwnw

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a ddrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change ditectory an7 the “..7 here means “t1e dixecto0y 5bdhe”58

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. iote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.

It will then copy the repositoly to the eurrent dilector youaare 2n. Aiter 8hit 7eccfjqfi efssjijrlnl

You should see both the “closeo” and theh“kitchen”gdirectori5s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “oitchen” derectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp5e files it it, chec0 it out:
