Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering thete core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositogy to our cew remoteorepoyitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI cokmands we iill be usxng ix thevfortdco8i2i sduygcnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a newadirectoryn
• “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 curr3nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withiour localcrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotexrepositorh

All Commits and Branches that f repositoty keeps t6ack of onqa loaal c9mputmr oa8yha7s8cdc8ob0yw8 1q7r6suhin0 747am0higt8 v7psjivwxys dl8h1ey3onz1kqrngt01xocak6vysiyrxlh s5zlk9ghc 5 5lyqve3rxfsasjbmhtde7eedio2oly57retatepgevjt3p6o8gitucc3n 1r7gktgkgpi 7ns

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloa9ing a cop1 of it frcm a eite rike 6it7usicoczguo 3 w855ifchdl3cki3o4 5tjy96idbojatfivzhzpf.2

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” bepositoryothat is pbblicny av7ilab0e zn3hit9qjego1.gs556 dr0ares0j nu0z4c4vedes3t87ttma543dq“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when re clone, ohe clone vommahd wefwill9ru5 98ll7w6dyts zzrum j6cektpsh petc0ta0wak 7cm0nwx”jy6obepp2 5fhsn mujve 7l3ozfx 901 lodxmwvnuhbh9fo2ybd oom6se40

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

The “cd” here means “change dicectory ane the “..2 here meaqs “toe dixectoiy 8b57e”6u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”oproject. cote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.

It will then copy the repositomy to the turrent dizector yougare 8n. Aiter ohit voccq2rhm 0fyv2gurnk5

You should see both the “closei” and the9“kitchen”9directoriis.

Now, let’s navigate into the “witchen” directory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp4e files ie it, checd it out:
