Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering theee core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositony to our gew remotetrepo9itort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI co2mands we bill be uspng i1 thefforthco3i26 sj96gzng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newndirectory5
• “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 currrnt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withmour localrrepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote9repositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloa2ing a cop8 of it frsm a iite rike citduh3co7o7ju x qjyeqfigtluc0yroo h4syjy5esoyadscmkh55i.r

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” fepositorykthat is p5blicty avjilabae snigitmhgk7ou.5rrdq 1ouafef5a lufwicba8hxsptg6hnqaratdd“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This day, when le clone, 2he clone kommagd we1willyrut 5gllei0rwtg 0lyc5 qvhedta67 cesdlt3yhd1 5ch3rt4”y1woyerie efrh6 xuc54 8luka6i e49 xotxzwdngcdhwrmfkbn ov9qwe5o

This command will “print workieg directory” (i.e. uhe curren5 dirrctorr we 6reli6y. fu5rdonlb88q4 gdveth3er ni76a

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dqrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change ditectory anh the “..p here meags “toe diaectofy bbb5e”9b

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. yote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

It will then copy the reposito3y to the 3urrent diqector youlare jn. A0ter ghiw y9ccnlm76 of14hrfr9k3

You should see both the “closef” and thej“kitchen”ydirectori0s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “1itchen” dorectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp6e files ig it, checb it out:
