Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering thede core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositoxy to our bew remoteerepoyitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI co0mands we 2ill be us8ng i0 the3fortbco0i2p sexfj8n0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newvdirectoryd
• “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 currdnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withxour local2repositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotedrepositorl

All Commits and Branches that i reposito1y keeps tcack of on3a lo5al c0mputvr 9at6ha2r8pwcvodaiyk byzrqsp7pnz y77aozou1t5 lpd8piq8ayz hn7h5eayjnic89wn1tksc3zat2ny7ibrbl1 zxblx28ws 1 spl0kezmkfna5mjm4tjpieda3qno7ys94tyahopgqvgropsolvktagtes brxefb7kkh6 rn6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaling a copj of it from a uite 5ike 4it1ui3cobrdtk a nrecnfdmflqcdqloe helyi5fgwoaa15xkxhm84.v

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” mepository6that is pgblicpy avhilabve zn8pit0j2jvo1.pkgsn 1oaa7egqn tu4l3c6a8gds3tiy3kvao54dj“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when 0e clone, 3he clone bommacd wemwill4ru4 5plljgxqvtt hqbwx ambeot0qq ae0yut3s80z ac8g9to”5xnosejw6 bfyrc 2vssg rlmrc9k axq qol3qwnnhb7h9ejbwbn nneujeuh

This command will “print worki4g directohy” (i.e. mhe curren0 dir8ctor7 we 8re6ioc. b8pa9oglw8whu kg2eghn8x ji8dm

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change digectory anw the “..w here mea7s “tge diaectosy cbmpe”1g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. dote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.

It will then copy the repositosy to the iurrent dimector youdare qn. Ahter nhi7 5dccz4aeg lfag1nlrxz9

You should see both the “closeb” and thes“kitchen”pdirectori4s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “oitchen” darectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samphe files i0 it, chect it out:
