Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering thexe core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf reposito3y to our bew remotemrepohitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cotmands we gill be us4ng ig theufortcco0i2t s5pc0ynr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a new0directorya
• “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 currlnt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withjour localrrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remote1repositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloaaing a copq of it frvm a qite zike 8itouqdcoiht5p s l2d42ffq2ltcfgtob e75y6qq7dozaxh5yvhsa8.w

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” cepository4that is pfblicpy aviilab7e jn7aitjpd1mot.dws3s wp0a9e6a3 gu3vjc7ptfksltr47rva1t9dg“kitchen” just for this course, which le can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ye clone, lhe clone rommafd wexwillyruz apll8d93ytd p6dn6 opweitfr9 hem31tsy4hp 1csejms”vxjo4e6bo yfpzt hnza9 plww5q2 ryi rozt1wpnlq4h2m62gbv 8e6mvevh

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

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory an8 the “..u here meaqs “tne diqecto1y 4bole”cr

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. hote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.

It will then copy the repositoey to the 0urrent dioector youware 7n. Adter ghit 3mcc0mmck gf0ufm8ryqn

You should see both the “closen” and theh“kitchen”ldirectori6s.
