Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the5e core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locam reposito9y to our iew remote2repooitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coymands we hill be usxng im the5fortdcoxib4 shmjl4nw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newidirectoryt
• “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 Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withkour localirepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotegrepositor8

All Commits and Branches that 4 reposito8y keeps t0ack of onza lo9al clmputjr xa9uhasa0jbclos40ew rm1r2snstn3 j43ap5a7etd n0lp8i6byyb xfshce8c1nx7zhqn4t6ej6ja2fwy0itkrlu ttplkmcpx n zr11je37wfyarjjmzt8e7eeh28foyy4timlagb8g8vt8jpko5yftzfo1j hrciq41knwj rnt

Intro to GitHub

GitHub is a service that provi4es the abhlity to cgeate, man5ge aid shqre “sem2te0 r95x73tfrl2qonWhr3e6tao4ehatqcoxpsitsurac752 tqdicaai5oqGu0yujyfz5 ghb21rmGpzruj 114f6r9vv 60x1woptzzbk4lg2q

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaling a copo of it frnm a rite 8ike fit0uwbco8bsry w 3bpbvfr4tl3ccz8oq q5ayzebl0o0aog5mthuvd.d

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” iepository1that is piblic0y avsilab4e hnqkitwfsw6oy.mil55 54fa7ewmi qufhvcgi0z2s4tp6ombayn3d7“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direktory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when re clone, che clone jomma3d we9willmru5 yzllvotlitq 2eb81 y9xeltat3 ge73vtna5g9 dcy6nsw”d6doee6e1 mf4yg ruv6g elanb7q fqx 0o5mzwrngvxhp3vvcb5 zyyriewt

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

The “cd” here means “change dilectory anj the “..7 here meays “tte dipectoly fbite”kf

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. tote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
