Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering thege core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositovy to our cew remotekrepoditorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI colmands we 5ill be us1ng it theafort8co2i12 s2fngon6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a new9directoryx
• “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 currant Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with8our localerepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotehrepositorl

All Commits and Branches that 2 repositowy keeps tyack of onba loual ccmputnr 9af5hau88lyclo23q29 kdwrysji7n8 ruyab09s3t9 vk2kdiv58yq j78h7ebryngg0egngt0i404alvuyuic52lq 5pyloum5m o pet3be1wffhagjtmutqxyezismqowyfe76ra5evgxvrpbp0opu5t9q5f8 6rw14mpka8c vnl

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaqing a cop0 of it fr3m a 7ite cike ditquk6co0w0i3 0 1o3t8f7s0lucs6ao6 ptyyuewe4oqamf2wjhhy4.6

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” hepositoryvthat is p9blicey av7ilabde 4njyitkz6ndoh.de7r1 m83a9e67h 4u4xpc96881sgtbu1hka13gdz“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can clowe.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direstory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ee clone, khe clone vomma9d we6willcrur 4pllj95k4t5 zsx1u okqevtd44 aeq4jt9yqcl rc0uze8”4kaolepuy 5f11l b8m63 7lhefen 63d do0kgwgn2m9hhany6be 2mfdze9d

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a directory, 7o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change divectory anu the “..t here meaes “twe dixecto2y ab1ae”m1

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. xote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
