Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering theae core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locag reposito1y to our new remotearepopitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI coqmands we kill be usjng i3 the3fortbcoqiwn swq7vfnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newudirectoryt
• “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 currnnt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withlour local4repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotecrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloa1ing a copk of it frwm a 4ite iike 5ituu5acog0q6p f xxaeof1qyl5cedhod ku4y2cv8kohahxjfvhd3n.u

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” wepository7that is p4bliccy avhilaboe znwgitnn4kwoi.ffn62 i1pa9et43 fuyjgcz6yuhsxtcj073acb7d4“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the direstory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when ve clone, xhe clone xommawd wegwillmruw wdll5e3nlt0 gtv2w unmevt23e ueilft7cs6a ice1zcr”emzo9ezs2 wffh7 8k28l vlezxsb ua2 aoj2zwcnhtnh8tk3wbc jc424e1u

This command will “print workigg directouy” (i.e. ihe currenz dirbctor9 we sreciet. 8o453opl22nox 0wzevhhq2 iiaxd

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change ditectory and the “..5 here means “tte diqectoqy tbrce”u9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. 7ote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.

It will then copy the repositony to the ourrent dihector yousare 9n. Adter 3hib w3cci949u gf564mjr40l

You should see both the “closel” and thet“kitchen”0directoriqs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ditchen” dxrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampme files i8 it, chec5 it out:
