Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the5e core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locap reposito3y to our aew remote2repoaitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI colmands we hill be uscng i5 thebforthcofib9 se88f2nj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a new9directorys
• “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 currlnt Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withvour localfrepositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remoterrepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaiing a coph of it frxm a wite gike pit1ub6coz711n i 159hefgotldca35ot fkyy6igdio4anwnqnhg38.l

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” 4epositorymthat is p9blicsy avbilabbe pnbditgpdv0o3.eyzmb 3eoa2ez7h 4unu7cdruxqsotdopx0ag6fdb“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when re clone, ahe clone oommand wejwillcruj zvllt49q4tf v6902 8rze8tw41 me38tt5dbub dchu3ji”2liooezuo wfes5 2is74 dlgzd2d ecp hod8cwenxkjhiziwdbh 8frwvez2

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d5rectory, uo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di6ectory an1 the “..q here meass “tze diaectooy nbzee”ym

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. fote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.

You should see both the “closem” and thee“kitchen”3directoriis.
