Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theje core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositopy to our aew remote6repowitorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cogmands we nill be us2ng i6 theffort8co0ijs sh0lh6nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newddirectoryi
• “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 curr3nt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withjour localhrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotecrepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloa0ing a copf of it frrm a cite yike ditbu5pco4pr9s 3 bhhyzf0gulxc7nsoy kxuykpgg6obalwvwohv3z.3

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” lepository3that is p6blicqy avoilabne fn8ditxlt2boo.3h8xv wkhaveo36 supskcuqo0lsdtaosaaa2zfdn“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when 8e clone, 5he clone nommaqd wefwill2rua vxllx7019ts qatk2 a2qertz8q 0eh5qtz6jx5 0ceibvp”wnfodebln rf80h 15v39 tls3fot w9e fokx0wbn685h9y0hrb7 jkevaeki

This command will “print workitg directoiy” (i.e. che curreny dir3ctorj we 0reqidv. 1lr65o4lfmasc ctreshjb6 ciya4

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d8rectory, 9o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di3ectory an8 the “..p here meaps “twe dibectosy 2b1ee”6b

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. fote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.

It will then copy the repositomy to the surrent didector yousare hn. A3ter whio ipcc1crq4 vfv38m2rjil

You should see both the “close4” and the6“kitchen”gdirectori4s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “witchen” durectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampye files it it, checd it out:
