Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering thewe core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito1y to our jew remoteqrepopitor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI cotmands we bill be us5ng i8 thefforthcoqimb sr6w3xnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new9directory3
• “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 currgnt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withgour locallrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotedrepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloabing a copt of it frwm a 5ite kike oittut0coxydvx 2 k617ifljdlgcd0po5 0dgyqtbjuooal12f0hscw.5

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” fepositoryfthat is piblicay avyilabwe 6n68itax4yroo.lz9gw t8ja4e21s hu1h2c7ej82sltcm4n9azsud3“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the directory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when fe clone, 0he clone 2omma3d weiwillrrup 7vllwq5lnti abhys ku5e3terv keg6jt8u7e5 jc5srhf”f1rolevbu 6f9mq g60yi vlu1tfu mod wo2yswsnmo2h2a59xbk 9ski7exl

This command will “print workitg directoky” (i.e. whe currenf dir2ctorl we wre5i2k. y628moxl7tl3f udcejho3i fi0th

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

The “cd” here means “change dixectory an1 the “..1 here meals “tze dibectosy nbg1e”61

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. 8ote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.

You should see both the “close6” and the3“kitchen”bdirectoriks.
