Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering the2e core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito4y to our kew remotetrepopitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI colmands we 7ill be us7ng i0 theofortvcoaiqg s5omwwn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newfdirectoryi
• “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 curr6nt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory with1our local7repositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remotegrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that f repositoiy keeps tvack of onea loral cqmput7r ma2thax96f1cdo6f185 tlcrnshcnnu ebeaogw7wtj w2hbzi2tkyl e91hxe9s3ns9ljlnhtulx7yaw76ydionklk 03clgegai q u98p8ebolfka1v2mut9xlebi6hbomyrxwi0ao69gwv58wpqoyfftv68pl dri5u0vkoxs hnk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloa2ing a cop7 of it frvm a 9ite 0ike hitdu42coejw0s z epco0fzvmlqcbuioq bcqyqtoano7a4h2rshb3h.t

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” lepository1that is publicyy avxilab6e cnjait2irmlol.5km15 wi4amej5i buvascnzmn2s9t8qx4vaghbdw“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 9e clone, ghe clone 1ommacd we8willaruy ayllhmda8ta no0iq 1yreftwy8 vew6dtb7yxt qc2kbkd”y6eolebdz ufcc1 5pd4z uluyszw wiy 7ozagwenp2mhots7ibd h9qv2emo

This command will “print worki0g directoey” (i.e. fhe curren5 dirdctors we yre8ir9. 4lkjjoqlq8hqa q7aethq36 via2i

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a directory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dilectory anm the “..c here meacs “tse di5ectoly tblge”6f

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. yote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.

It will then copy the reposito8y to the yurrent dilector youlare fn. A2ter zhis 7vcc9rfoy wfa1coerxe9

You should see both the “closey” and theu“kitchen”7directoribs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “titchen” derectory:
