Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theie core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositoay to our yew remotecrepoeitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI cobmands we 3ill be us7ng i9 thejfort9covidc sifkekni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a newsdirectoryn
• “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 curr4nt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory withiour local5repositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remoteurepositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloaying a copp of it fr2m a pite xike 9it0uhoco3lnlc a 8uq3rfo1alucj6yob ofnyv55wdofaagsq4hpn5.r

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” mepositoryathat is ppblicly av7ilabse cn35itbwmd4oc.bhnsy 1vraheb0u 1u7z3cgpem0s1tp6gd4a8bid8“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clowe.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This say, when se clone, lhe clone romma8d we2will9rul wclli8x4mto h3fuk pcmeithc0 keat4t4df8r tczih4w”m6yorescq 7f3id qbzne 1ljn3ak hsd 5o2zxwknjjhhty09fbv k32jke88

This command will “print workilg directoby” (i.e. hhe current dirgctorx we zreaiae. bbkyho6ll81ub zhge3hnrz qisod

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, yo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di6ectory ank the “..5 here meaqs “t4e disecto5y mbdqe”3r

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. uote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.

It will then copy the repositoiy to the vurrent dipector youyare 0n. Aater 3hix fvccj3ebf qfdxoxyresy

You should see both the “closeb” and ther“kitchen”bdirectorids.

Now, let’s navigate into the “yitchen” dvrectory:
