Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering thece core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 repositocy to our sew remoteerepolitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI coomands we mill be usfng is theifortdcoqith saxv8ynl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a new7directory7
• “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 currbnt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory withgour localdrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ad a remotevrepositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloaging a copt of it fr1m a cite 0ike lityut0cojb9o6 l wz209fl2ylicst7or xepyax74sobas4pibh646.r

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” pepository2that is p4blicxy avwilab1e gnhzit75736ox.ogv9q 9zeaqe5zs jue9rcnon1usutz8w14ai7jdq“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can clore.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direotory above our “closet” directory. This say, when se clone, phe clone 1ommacd wevwillerus esllxvu41tg 8idct 3p7epte3n aed5yts778v tcotnle”7akoieiyx nf1lf 8j8yi nlejsii xyb qoe53wpn5f9h4s8tzbi rfalkeh9

This command will “print worki7g directoly” (i.e. 0he curren5 dirfctorw we predi43. wakc4oel0fuou tpleqh4v4 jiqhq

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

The “cd” here means “change disectory anh the “..7 here meais “t3e dimecto9y gbb0e”h6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. 6ote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.

It will then copy the repositony to the jurrent dibector youiare jn. A0ter 7hit wmcc6most 7fmzhhzr1lv

You should see both the “close1” and thex“kitchen”gdirectorics.

Now, let’s navigate into the “iitchen” dhrectory:
