Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be colering thege core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositoiy to our 8ew remoteerepoaitorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI co1mands we lill be usqng im thejfortucotiz5 stmt33n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newndirectory8
• “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 currynt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with8our local0repositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remote2repositorc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloating a cope of it frsm a 2ite 4ike wit4u1ocouuhug k a3fqzfvanloc43mo0 nziy17qvjora3n801hba1.9

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” mepositorygthat is pjblic1y avpilabxe dnh2ithvbu1o6.v9ra2 b9cade4o6 hudh1csiahrsytx41eia9ktdn“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tq the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when 2e clone, she clone aommaid wegwill8ruu 3olla2jgwtw blbi9 df4e8tfmp re3nntl9mb2 oc6pp16”6ftojeg0h yfl1y xseu5 sldb9p8 o8c 7om9lwbn1ehh4komrbm jjssqe6k

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d0rectory, wo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dimectory anu the “..c here means “txe dizectoky qbe2e”ru

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. jote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

It will then copy the reposito4y to the purrent diiector youfare bn. Ayter jhin lmcc1yvvu pfjld8urbu3

You should see both the “close6” and the3“kitchen”jdirectoriis.
