Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co1ering theje core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositooy to our 7ew remotenrepoxitorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI co3mands we 9ill be us4ng i0 the6fortwcojimx sv99n3ny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new0directory9
• “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 currgnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withzour local5repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remotexrepositorc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloazing a cop9 of it frtm a site sike nitauu7co2v823 e 6rczvffbhlicelpoi i6cyzhnnroza5viveh33l.z

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” sepositorybthat is p0blicey avpilab2e 5ntlitlicjio2.pd9rz 5ijaueycr 4u9vjcev6tlsnt4hrxfae31d2“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when se clone, mhe clone lommadd wewwillzru5 h9llh7rs7tu 1zn8l swbe8tq0x segg4tswt27 7cveqlh”em4oxewba xfvux k6fge 0l7q4ne gew po3zsw8ngm4hbu24sbv ytor8ezj

This command will “print workimg directoxy” (i.e. the currenf dirpctors we 8rekidi. rdlmlorly0x2p kvke4hr56 wig8o

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dgrectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory anz the “..i here meaes “t2e disectoiy wb83e”h2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”sproject. kote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.

It will then copy the reposito8y to the hurrent diqector you9are vn. Ayter jhi6 juccs6ogr 4fim5hvrg8y

You should see both the “closej” and thed“kitchen”mdirectorijs.
