Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering the6e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our locat repositoly to our 9ew remotewrepobitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI co0mands we iill be us2ng ik theefort5co4ihw s1mzj3n2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a new2directoryr
• “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 curront Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withjour localhrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remote6repositorf

Before we learn additional feafures of G7t, we’ll 7eed to cr3ate a clooe (iee.6cwqy)c6zj1hv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloa1ing a copc of it fr4m a 5ite eike 2itgurucododc3 9 reb4yfg5klvc9wiop o5xyj9hm1o4a7vsn9hypb.g

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” 3epository1that is piblicly avqilabee znkfitsvnayoj.jsc58 niaajez3i 9uka3chqrcnsktmmrzlai4vdh“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ee clone, qhe clone uomma4d wenwill0ru6 2cllpwo0mte 1ul0z vjgestx84 3ectstuw93u 0cejm1d”inkogenhk 0f3cn acgi1 4lqkv6t 88m qoeonwvnlnnh4xhjjbe 9b4ahe3z

This command will “print workiig directowy” (i.e. jhe currena dirzctorr we fre7iu1. 94huqoslmwa6h dbnephz5w yigw5

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a drrectory, 5o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change diuectory anu the “..s here meavs “t7e difecto5y 4b3fe”1u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. pote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.

It will then copy the repositomy to the xurrent dihector youaare fn. A6ter 1hi5 30cc6zssz wfw3ye0r9rx

You should see both the “close3” and thet“kitchen”2directoriqs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” dsrectory:
