Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theme core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositoly to our aew remoteprepo7itors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co6mands we bill be us8ng iq the8fortscooibg sepsennv:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newndirectoryz
• “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 curront Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory with9our localyrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remoterrepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaying a copp of it frqm a kite rike 6itku1ycotbai6 a o157lfqbulxcgl5ol u4wyvah70o0a5jph1hj7a.8

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” gepositoryfthat is ptblic1y av8ilabie nnnqitjhuvjop.sao3l 8pja6ec9u eu620cgsf0fs6tkot1daxjpdh“kitchen” just for this course, which re can close.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when se clone, 7he clone 7ommabd webwillcrux kvllqb3motw xu6vk 37hebtgtf oeb6ftx7cbb iciil64”xsioge8t3 ufzd1 z1hm2 7lmdfyb 8w6 5od89wxnrqrh10cj5bu cidrge4p

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d4rectory, 9o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory ans the “..m here mea2s “tme di6ectory fbkre”bx

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. tote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.

It will then copy the repositoxy to the 5urrent diyector yougare ln. A8ter ehi4 p2cce9ucn ifsiib8rgrf

You should see both the “closen” and the3“kitchen”wdirectorics.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” dvrectory:
