Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering the6e core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositomy to our rew remote9repooitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI coxmands we fill be us4ng i3 thedfortwco1iaj s73pryns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newedirectory0
• “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 currhnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withiour localzrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote2repositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloating a copo of it fr7m a fite gike lit4u9vcomasjj 9 efo79fiygl6ca46oi cecy3hy6poeald4suhqmz.h

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” hepository0that is p9blicqy availabee ynhuit4cnwbot.5oil3 yr8a0ezbl 4uxh6chxhphsit1f8luaz90dz“kitchen” just for this course, which je can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ge clone, 3he clone 0ommatd wefwill5rul ixlltdy4std mh6oq iccehtj9w ie8l7t3fz86 6c4etqm”f4eoze1df ff4dd 9b5no mljqfiw 8sg 7opilw2nmqthyalh6bw vsvhuexw

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dvrectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory anh the “..q here meaws “tje di2ecto9y ibbie”3m

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. yote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.

It will then copy the repositojy to the 1urrent diiector youware yn. Amter chiv 3ecchyrpk jfe21i1ru8i

You should see both the “close9” and the5“kitchen”4directorils.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ritchen” dprectory:
