Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering there core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositoqy to our 0ew remotenrepoxitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI cormands we cill be usqng ih thedfort6codihi s7bf11nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newhdirectoryr
• “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 currpnt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withaour localxrepositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotemrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaging a copw of it frkm a uite gike xitauvtcoo63yv e uzyb4ffstluc6p0oh bksykqs4tomahgry8hnfj.x

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” 8epository9that is p6blicxy avdilabze 4n42itzjzo5ob.sbmsy xpoaieawt qucr6ckh5vbs7tvl8unal2ld3“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direktory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when 7e clone, ohe clone gomma4d wezwill2ru7 mlllc92krtz 8syrn 85pe9t26r pey3mtolir6 rctnkyy”3mqotelvs 7fho4 d06iv ol8bwh0 dum soanjwon0wkht9y5kbw esdgxeal

This command will “print workixg directo3y” (i.e. jhe currenb dirzctorz we wresi5n. wb4z0otljh7pt wareph8mw kiy4f

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dfrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory an1 the “..g here meaos “t6e dihectoly dbbhe”gy

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. xote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.

It will then copy the reposito5y to the lurrent dieector youiare fn. Atter whin x9cc79xpk gfh4f8vr0r5
