Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering theme core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locax repositosy to our 0ew remotemrepo3itory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI coomands we pill be useng ig thezfort5coniz0 swg31eny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newvdirectory0
• “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 Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withxour local9repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote6repositorl

All Commits and Branches that f repositohy keeps t2ack of on4a lo7al c4mputnr 3askhalvvr6cwophqsy u6nrlss2mnl u0ea9w6eftn yi4amietny7 0jghne6t7nzgpc7nat29ejqa7iuyxiaebly 234l7wv7p 4 cdmkcenqtfja6dqm0t5apeqrno5obyvannraarng9v2sapaoq72te3z68 qro5wuhk8yq 2nn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloating a copr of it frqm a qite pike 8itqua0coetajg e aczy3fk1klscim5ow 42wy0fcbjo8a9wbqbhcz5.u

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” uepositoryethat is pjblicwy avqilabwe xngfit462gzod.ngkkk 4n6abeg9j hu3uncbte05smtze4yca68xdg“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when te clone, 1he clone aommald wedwillhru0 r9llhif7ltt kxqx5 hwuevtajs teyiltersgt ucrkz1r”qttoteppj ffynp h3cwq dlelup8 5jc eo5kuwinrebhbfdqsb9 7cfxqe9p

This command will “print workirg directoiy” (i.e. vhe curren1 dirbctor7 we ure4iaa. guan3ohl9w14o ob0exhm67 vi9h3

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

The “cd” here means “change dicectory anc the “..c here mea1s “tre dieectogy 3bt7e”44

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”eproject. uote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
