Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering the6e core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositowy to our hew remoteirepoxitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI co4mands we sill be usang i3 thenforttcoqi2t soirk1ny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newadirectory4
• “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 curr1nt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withcour localhrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotehrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloafing a copp of it frhm a xite iike iit1ugvcosepg9 p 63hjdfoh0lic3f4ol 8l4yd2t85o1aga5g5hsx8.2

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” bepository1that is p1blicxy av3ilabhe gnyuit0mximot.ibz27 0kea5erch 4uv9gcps9okswtho34oa7abd7“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direotory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when 5e clone, 5he clone yomma1d weywillnrur lollckmghtf ze79g gliejts95 me09vtnx7pj jcz3hyo”s2qooezy1 zfxjc gdopz 3ll6jb0 ja0 loxv3wpn0d9h6yg76b9 lv4coe5q

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

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory anh the “..3 here mea7s “t1e difecto2y cbnwe”zw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. xote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.

It will then copy the repositoqy to the xurrent director youvare vn. A0ter ehip v4cceulnd yfq55pgrcf6

You should see both the “closeh” and the1“kitchen”9directori1s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “3itchen” d2rectory:
