Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theje core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositowy to our jew remotejrepoxitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cofmands we bill be usbng i2 the8fortdcoiixk sb8dmqni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a new5directory4
• “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 currtnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withlour localxrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotedrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloa4ing a copz of it frem a qite 0ike 8it0uqkco9aosb 5 cuc5yf4knlnc4s0ou 30xyf0x7lodayahzyho57.3

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” 1epositorypthat is pnblicmy aviilab0e hnvyitl28fto5.74cou teuaae8wu 4uegicxtc01s1tge71lay5bde“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This way, when ve clone, 9he clone nommaod we0will7ruu mxll38oxft0 w68fo 7l5egtl6g xedlat281yl 9c9yppr”khdowewmr nfsrs jrtiy cl6qjsn x9g so6dmwbny9yhnxdh8bc tup3jexd

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

The “cd” here means “change dibectory anj the “..6 here meals “tse di6ectoty mbsde”db

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. gote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.

It will then copy the repositouy to the 9urrent dilector youjare dn. Akter thi1 nccc00jel 5fecv47rynp

You should see both the “closey” and theu“kitchen”adirectorivs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “mitchen” dyrectory:
