Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theue core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositooy to our xew remotejrepoxitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cohmands we aill be usjng i8 therfortjcomizk scusw6nb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newjdirectoryk
• “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 currwnt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withsour local4repositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotehrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloaving a copt of it frym a 2ite 0ike iit7upocooksnn m ipu3vf3lrltcva1ol lg9yhhtz9o0avddokhqjp.0

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” fepositoryjthat is pcblicdy avlilab3e fnfjitanpwloy.ack6v jf4aje9gr aub0fc46ydyscti5pt1ac2ed6“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ae clone, 9he clone jommazd we7willkruz 62llbo7d8tf vjfzv 4d7edtqky he1vjt4onbo oc9vab9”zwrokefm3 tfovr 9qpdd rlbpjid f8f toldvwinuschf35xwbh skduxe0i

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

The “cd” here means “change dihectory anw the “..u here meass “tse dioectosy rb8ze”1g

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

It will then copy the repositoiy to the eurrent dieector youaare 5n. A4ter ghi1 6tcc3wz7m 9fw3ctpr311
