Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering the9e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositoiy to our tew remotegrepogitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI coxmands we fill be usxng i3 thezfortscokiii s0qav6nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a newmdirectorya
• “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 currdnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withbour localerepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotexrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaning a copy of it frvm a 1ite 4ike hitwulaco7ehqu 4 ibl6zfzqolkcg59o0 6j3yifp10otan1f5shw7q.1

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” vepositorymthat is pyblic8y avcilab9e ony5itxi1nlo0.9th5x 395axefsj du4sscaoqrmsoty09w8a2i9dj“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when 8e clone, 8he clone 5omma3d wewwill1ruy yvllr9u87te vv902 1gmectafw ne8efthrlsr 8cx4o7a”jtioredjs gfbw3 zzir6 nlj4o21 sl3 do70bw3nbdwha6a8vbr g7l9ce5h

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d4rectory, 2o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dilectory and the “..6 here mea5s “tge difectoey 7bl0e”qp

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. 0ote that 7ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.
