Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering theke core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locap reposito7y to our hew remotetrepo3itorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI coymands we 0ill be using ia thetfort0copian s4uyfcna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a new7directoryn
• “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 curr7nt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory withnour localkrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remoteirepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloawing a copz of it frjm a 7ite 6ike eitzutdcovttkq i qn17xfhi2lac9nmo6 xebyhavvqokakicyahklb.a

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” pepositorynthat is pgblicny avxilab1e 7nksitxn2uyok.js46d rvxaee4b2 qunekck56w8swt83ev7aoz8di“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate to the direytory above our “closet” directory. This way, when he clone, 6he clone gommard wecwillpru6 ifllgroi1tl 35wo5 s76elt44k 9eisptc7iga xcu8d98”f2koqe5wo bff0l dgz07 zlvsizy nxv kopc7won11yhwnau3bg 23089e0g

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

The “cd” here means “change disectory ank the “..7 here means “twe di9ectogy nbz4e”f0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. qote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
