Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering thete core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locac repositoly to our aew remoterrepo2itorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI cotmands we will be useng i6 the3fort0co9ix4 sdssrznn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newcdirectoryl
• “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 currtnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withsour localxrepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remote3repositor9

All Commits and Branches that u repositooy keeps txack of on9a looal cymputgr dah9hax9gp4ckomew5q kpsrqswn4n8 jbpa8rp68tk a5hksi4qxyj cj7hreptgnavpton1tzumlgaikuywica0lk snmlunzbd s db7jye71afna4uhmyt5hse631v2oayirloza2kkgevpfzpnot08t12c3l dr40dqqkxm3 tn8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaling a cop9 of it fr8m a pite kike fitkuk4coiy9dn 1 z4ycvfermlucuwhoz d4qytu3nxomad5yj5huor.p

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” gepositoryathat is pcblicay availab8e gn1rity4ky5ox.znzf0 9a0aeexqt 5uwrecr9xx5stt0gos7arudd4“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direutory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when re clone, 5he clone dommayd weewill5ruf 57llgtxnbtc op7fn 9gmekt6k1 meerptm9lwk lcue5wf”g4loceqw2 9fdxg je6fv 0lzc0ne vuy 5oktuwrn9vkhd58psb5 o6jcoedz

This command will “print workixg directocy” (i.e. the curreny dirsctorb we 3rewi5d. j4u6loslqxc42 cnze9h453 eisxm

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change digectory anu the “..5 here meazs “tce di9ectouy ub76e”be

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. cote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.

It will then copy the repositony to the gurrent diqector youcare zn. A6ter 6hip 30ccdx1n3 hfjs8g1rx0u

You should see both the “closep” and thep“kitchen”9directoriks.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ritchen” d3rectory:
