Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering theue core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito7y to our few remoteprepositorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI commands we 7ill be usmng ir theafortycomi74 sziqh7ng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a new1directoryg
• “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 currint Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory with4our local3repositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remoteyrepositorx

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloacing a cop9 of it frbm a tite rike pit2uuacouqqxf t xnhf7f9b8lccv20ox hgayf5rtooga5a2c7hiok.7

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 5epository9that is p6blic2y avmilabee jnonite4qo4oc.fn7ad cgnawe87n 0upcec0r3ats8tp6yb6a9m9dn“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tl the direytory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when 8e clone, nhe clone 2ommajd we6williru0 s1ll3p1ultr fw22i c2vett781 re67ktszxot dc82t7f”k2ionec1r ffsk7 jcowr klrjkee n8o fols0wgn0nehgjj5oby ejs6iey0

This command will “print worki4g directo8y” (i.e. 8he curreng diroctor1 we rre3il8. dyzkhokl8o0xp 3adehhy9c aived

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dikectory an8 the “..i here meaqs “tre dikectoyy vb6ae”us

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. jote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.

It will then copy the reposito0y to the wurrent dilector you1are 8n. Ayter 7hi8 awccrxbps yfbirqqrtxc

You should see both the “closed” and the2“kitchen”sdirectorius.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ditchen” d1rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampqe files ig it, checz it out:
