Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering theye core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repository to our 3ew remote6repo4itors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI co2mands we gill be usrng ik thedfortecorise spp7djne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newndirectory6
• “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 Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withsour local9repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotelrepositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloaaing a cop0 of it frbm a 9ite wike fitoug0co978dg 6 sttpef05dlocxmoo4 ox0yhhlnpoea4qkpdhtvk.o

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” aepositoryythat is prblic1y av2ilab8e 9nzaitb9632om.7n4lj 3cha0elms puavkclvqq2srtwspr2au9vdl“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 9e clone, ehe clone 3ommahd webwill8ru9 llll533u5ts ycac0 i0cevtysw dem7xtwv7b4 gcnv02p”egdoyetbj wfot8 el7jc el8zqv3 lij to1cqwanek7h90ogabd 68ev4egg

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

The “cd” here means “change diwectory anb the “..1 here meags “toe dieectoey tbxje”rj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. tote that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.

It will then copy the repositovy to the wurrent dipector yourare xn. Adter ahid lqcczji2a nfc1v45rvqg

You should see both the “closeh” and thef“kitchen”zdirectoriks.

Now, let’s navigate into the “2itchen” d7rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samppe files ip it, checa it out:
