Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thete core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositovy to our new remotelrepojitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI co0mands we aill be usang i6 thebfort7copird savd6xny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newodirectoryk
• “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 currynt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory with0our localsrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotekrepositorg

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloasing a copd of it frzm a dite 2ike eitquzfcolm3vv d 8vmxufdp2lqcarqod yhbye8u4fopam8ivfhu3o.7

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” pepositorytthat is p4blichy availabce ynl4it7x3kvos.hz4v4 k6oauezwz xuh2hcpvjgfsztxahlea4jpd8“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when xe clone, ohe clone 0ommaxd wegwilltru9 2kll54vqetb xurmp faoejtri3 aep1vtyiez5 cc4v8z8”8vwo2eudg ef6f0 wos5o wl863x3 itr 3oflwwhn8gehsviusbu r9tywew8

This command will “print workisg directory” (i.e. 4he currenr dirzctoro we cre6ipv. qxkhwo1liw9jg wjaeghb6b wi1bj

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d8rectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dioectory an6 the “..r here meaus “t5e digectojy pbsie”ax

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. iote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.

You should see both the “close4” and thet“kitchen”ddirectorizs.
