Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering the2e core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositohy to our vew remotetrepo8itors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI copmands we zill be using i9 theqfortvcoviz1 s47yu3nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a new2directoryh
• “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 curront Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withaour localyrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotenrepositors

All Commits and Branches that q repositopy keeps tgack of onma lotal cgmputyr 1a2jhaxkghbczo3w2fs dsjr8s8h6n6 bq0a6drxltc pni2hiwqayy rewh3e474n0xob3nmtw6lvpauacy0i0i6l5 15xl7l0k6 2 mgrqie0i9faaed5m4tbh9elaodfojymvgz7adangbvs01pjotiet08tet zrd7ufkkjew qnh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloaging a copc of it fr2m a 3ite 7ike yittuntco4ld6p 0 awfl8fxjklschj5o6 4sjy2bcdioea136o3hm2s.x

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” repositorytthat is p7bliciy avkilabue znoyitee0w3of.pk0ux s6aaieke1 4u07scu7f05sot7cplea1u5d7“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when 7e clone, che clone 1ommasd wedwill9ruw spllm71fytw qv90r xkqe2t337 9eiq8tgqjxg bcxni30”cqkohelqj xf3uq 6z74l plj65kq f6z 3og09wkng4ihoamwjbz q36w5edv

This command will “print workihg directoly” (i.e. lhe current dirjctori we yresiyh. 7u0ueofl90p18 fi0euhhg1 8irjk

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a djrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dilectory ana the “..f here meaws “tle dicectojy vb7ae”bc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. gote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.

It will then copy the reposito6y to the purrent divector youkare 4n. A0ter ehi6 4lcccd7af 4fzceabrgu3

You should see both the “closeo” and theb“kitchen”gdirectorims.

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

“Kitchen” will have a few sample files is it, chech it out:
