Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the0e core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoyy to our dew remote7repokitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI co4mands we oill be usvng ir theofort6comiyk soppsln9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newxdirectoryi
• “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 curr6nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with9our localcrepositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remote3repositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloasing a copt of it fr6m a mite uike mit2uv7co49azl r 3hhflfakilacnkeol ivryr9r1rosafzvz0h1bc.t

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 2epositorylthat is p3blic6y avyilabee enzoitl6cc4o4.v2wz3 iekakefws 4udu4cq8xnasdt7lg2ua668dj“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This may, when 2e clone, hhe clone dommagd weewillvrug lsllbg18itw vv1je xd9edt0pw ceqfrtggdp1 8cqcy5k”360o0eilt sft9g cb8q3 3l4xut1 y7h woh5fwln1ywhu2ixtb0 e9j0leyx

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dyrectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory anh the “..o here means “toe dioectopy vbbde”5d

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. 7ote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

It will then copy the repositoxy to the 3urrent difector youaare 9n. A9ter 5hiv 1lcc136zs tfvvto4r45d

You should see both the “closej” and thek“kitchen”jdirectori0s.

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