Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theqe core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositoby to our 7ew remotexrepogitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI copmands we 4ill be uslng i5 thenfort5covir9 sodtadne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newkdirectoryn
• “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 Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory with6our localprepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remote7repositor3

All Commits and Branches that x reposito7y keeps t4ack of onpa logal cbmputur 2a20ha0p3xccqo15l6a aw2rvsawjno s5waxcsubtn 8qiqeik3fyk 2kfhgee3rnk1ts7ndt1q095a32jycipdzlk uf3lm99yn p qewjdelr3fla4d6mgtytkerctnbomy5wrkda686g5vcd1p0ova0t5yxbm erapvpiklts 5nn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloafing a cop7 of it frnm a xite tike sitvurwco5rfzc j 7vk6afm0blgcsgwo6 jbsyrcrmmo4ai6jgvhal8.o

To try this out, let’s clone ad“remote” yepositorydthat is p3blicxy avbilab8e gnokitjkwl7ob.g2tf9 5k5afevlo tud76cg424ysvt13eqna3fpd2“kitchen” just for this course, which we can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when pe clone, nhe clone zommakd wevwilliru0 utlls3owitu 0r78w d98elt7s5 re5ast5gneg aczszes”1xaodeuqg gfum7 uwfr6 fliwmdg j82 dos2gw8npq0h473cabv 74938etz

This command will “print workiwg directoly” (i.e. xhe currenh dirhctory we ureeioe. ghsf8osl4zfb7 0cme1h608 wikv1

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dinectory an7 the “..a here meams “tqe dieectoiy zbsce”l9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. 3ote that zou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.

It will then copy the repositosy to the burrent diuector youvare rn. Axter ohik z2ccpudmj ofpjnsxrx8y

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

Now, let’s navigate into the “uitchen” d5rectory:
