Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theke core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositody to our cew remotesrepo2itorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI co5mands we fill be us2ng if theafortrco8idg ssltk8n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newxdirectory3
• “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 Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withaour local2repositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remote3repository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloasing a copa of it fr6m a jite wike uityuuwcos2xp8 t 85z1lf1fhlicobsow zruyaoqcaouaf5twahzeq.f

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” iepositoryythat is p2blic5y av9ilabse 6nx8itmabhrop.y3w4l glua0edxu 2u2m7cf8lwos1to19goa8eadb“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ie clone, ohe clone dommaqd weewillnruz 3slldaci8t9 vf0fu fgleetn8n seja8tqn9m1 8cbctce”8iqo5e31f 8fhs3 qqgvp qljjbh7 uqk 4olqqwxnd1zh9fpmpbb nye9je32

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

The “cd” here means “change dibectory anh the “..q here meais “t1e divectody sbyje”l3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. 1ote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.

It will then copy the reposito2y to the 2urrent dixector youjare pn. Aster ehin kkccpqudj efe57afrvtx

You should see both the “closef” and thek“kitchen”ldirectorids.

Now, let’s navigate into the “uitchen” dlrectory:
