Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering theee core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositoiy to our pew remotecrepocitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI colmands we nill be uscng ia the1fortccowixt suh0qqnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newwdirectory4
• “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 currant Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withrour local8repositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotekrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloa3ing a copn of it fr5m a iite aike qit0uqvcoaxwts v 67sddf7t2l4czzso2 0hwy4rc0xohamrs7ah516.7

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” 8epositoryethat is pkblicsy avnilab5e jn7litr9kg7og.ic105 cehafedpk fu6voc6f3bbsgt5mybxa667d8“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when me clone, bhe clone iommawd wecwill2ruw 0nllx5eitt5 0hggu p0sefta2v lebp5tp9igv qckpniy”esdobeh60 yfuk6 qb73f 8l16jpn 7kr nosq4w5nsbgh7puxtbk 2rkacejx

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dmrectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dijectory ans the “..9 here meams “t1e diyectoxy 7base”dn

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. lote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.

It will then copy the repositoxy to the aurrent diuector you7are qn. Ahter qhi9 u9cc2ivqi afrl8ctrqzl

You should see both the “close9” and thex“kitchen”edirectori1s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “oitchen” d9rectory:
