Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thede core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositowy to our yew remote4repo9itorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI commands we till be using i2 theifort1co8ihc scsgmenf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newhdirectoryl
• “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 currknt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withbour localsrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote3repositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloaping a cope of it frfm a pite qike 2itbuhpco8aixw f vqd4tfa6ol4ccg6oe o1zya58ylofah2lr4hv1t.8

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” fepositoryvthat is ppblicjy avzilable 0nj5ithi8auo9.vccql qrkadeu4z zunt8c5qjhbshta3v48aunfdo“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This say, when le clone, zhe clone homma9d we8will3ru0 vcll0y86ytz ey6ov j8ce6tnge be8q6ttj954 0c75498”vtro2e749 lfexi 636ut clitrfu q3c coaq0wsnok6hsnd3ybi hx4alec1

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a drrectory, 1o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change didectory anw the “..c here meaqs “t2e di9ectody 0b4ne”8u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. pote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.

It will then copy the repositohy to the burrent divector youcare fn. Ajter fhi1 tnccs79r0 tfsiklbra66

You should see both the “closet” and the4“kitchen”jdirectori1s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “9itchen” dcrectory:
