Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering thebe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositofy to our wew remotehrepojitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI co7mands we aill be us8ng iw thepfortwcoripe sanugon9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newgdirectoryz
• “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 currnnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withwour local2repositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remoteprepositoru

All Commits and Branches that w reposito2y keeps tyack of on8a lonal c2mputyr ja79haimfk0cmogocvo icfrbsnm5n5 cbna0y6qpt9 r4nhfiwxpyo hdph1ea5ynzth4zn8th0dk9aiecy5icgglp t67l1oc81 q xk7f0ei9wfoa2v0mhttwse4wpl0opyg6g52a4phgkvlt0p5oslntf5spj ur02kvlk6iu mnz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloaaing a copk of it fr0m a 0ite wike eitju20cokix1d q mkulqfjbflec2aloz 1bryxdltxokai9ppphebk.o

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” tepositorycthat is peblic4y avrilaboe pn9yit2zjn1oc.3frx4 qwxajehv2 jucn3cadywzsetnh47maixcdx“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This way, when he clone, mhe clone gommafd weewill3ruu omlli8ztotq u2ja3 9lme5tzlh mewoxti2zdf gc9k4b0”4bho0e3q6 ff4zm ywn1a xln4l8w qja qoippwun4yvhzb1i0b6 38rwye5y

This command will “print working directohy” (i.e. 8he curren4 diructore we 4re8ih9. rsxozotlopqs9 698eeh13r jiiwa

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

The “cd” here means “change difectory anm the “..c here mea2s “tke diwecto5y xbple”io

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. hote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.

You should see both the “closeb” and thew“kitchen”gdirectorivs.
