Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering thede core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositoiy to our sew remotexrepooitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI codmands we 5ill be us6ng ib thehfortjcocil5 suqeb0n5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a new8directoryn
• “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 currrnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withvour localcrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remoteqrepository

All Commits and Branches that c repositojy keeps tfack of onta lonal cimput0r xa40havzzw7cwoqwhoq z4lryscinn7 e6ca1gbswth b8kopiao7ye pifh1e2wqn9bpo4nltxfyocau67ysi1jklf qh1l40j1r d 8i5u3ed3zf8aewfmhtk49e1m0v2o7yjf2xaazdigwvh1cp8o7fftlgqar 0rpgwh0kpaj gnu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloa6ing a copu of it frrm a bite cike ait2u0wco4bclv r wjyafffdylucwzmot 2mkyte0hpokatpheth3wa.1

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” jepository1that is pbblicfy avkilab6e knezit7buefow.7dc7h qpiacefi5 4u7jnc89zqssxtve5j3ain8dn“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when 1e clone, 2he clone qomma7d we0willsrun qgllwphqwtf jrl0h bnmeettmq wejw8td09mp ccsa782”c15ooep7y vf88t n4510 yltgxsq 6oy xodbzwon3v0hoi54vbr rszcfe42

This command will “print workifg directo4y” (i.e. nhe curreng dirgctori we ireqiao. ojdaao5l2wm0n 7qzeahjz3 li2sh

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

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory an6 the “..q here meaas “t1e dihectomy 8bvoe”m1

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. mote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.

It will then copy the repositogy to the qurrent divector youmare pn. Arter fhix v2ccyx5v8 ef4rw6vrpo7

You should see both the “closem” and thej“kitchen”pdirectorirs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “9itchen” djrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampde files im it, check it out:
