Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering thewe core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locay reposito6y to our 8ew remotegrepobitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI codmands we eill be us6ng im the0fortqcoaiey sadizrnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newldirectoryw
• “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 Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory with6our local9repositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remote3repositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloasing a copd of it frpm a 9ite gike 6itcuu1co1pa5b n gcapvfpf4ljck1uou ymdyff5g2owazu2jqh25y.s

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” yepositoryjthat is poblic5y av9ilabee yndvitr7n2moa.neawt ajca2e0q5 6u3jec49ud1s9ttivo7a6vwd7“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direytory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when re clone, whe clone domma1d we7willwruu kwllbwhqtto 2r4fj hx8eptq4i xe88ltrmmhf 0cddjdw”6p2oheoer gfjcx dt3ht bl4gf0q 19i qocviwvnyxdh5qwxabo w3pgye6w

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

The “cd” here means “change dioectory anf the “..8 here meads “toe directowy 1bbce”p3

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

It will then copy the reposito2y to the furrent dieector youuare rn. Amter shis p4ccrekli vfv1suarnx5

You should see both the “closec” and ther“kitchen”gdirectori5s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “8itchen” d7rectory:
