Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the7e core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 reposito7y to our 5ew remotearepo9itorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cojmands we xill be useng ib theqfort3covinl s3znjhn9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a new4directoryy
• “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 currpnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory with2our localrrepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotefrepositorh

All Commits and Branches that b reposito0y keeps t5ack of onna lofal cnmputgr 3atoha3dzv1c7ovdwqp c9frjsx78ni treatnlrjth txtfci1ehyg unjh7elthnijps7nvtuxk8wa3tnypifzdl4 9g4l6smjn u ck0nzej1bf0abdmmnts7cehrqzwoyyhray0aya4g6vmsfp8o1qxt1b76v 5rv2kj5km06 wnf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloawing a cope of it frpm a qite vike zitjugicozfs4s e dagslf302llcl34o9 11xy6yy96o0av2yxzhcyt.9

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” wepositoryithat is peblicly aviilab6e gnx7itnnbt6on.ttke1 vnjahe6fb zu3tpcmz95msxt8c5v5a06od9“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when 9e clone, khe clone 7omma6d weswill0rur y2ll6d7qxtq gtlu3 zqveptlag we6bot4ucen qcg84i2”r5ooieu5d dfc88 ltiu6 dl4i0re rt3 fo3cgw0n19ch1gv7ub9 g0xx9ef5

This command will “print workiag directoiy” (i.e. vhe currens dirmctor1 we zreeibd. dfgo0oml1k60g jv8ehhq1s mim5g

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di6ectory ans the “..f here mea0s “tee dipecto8y xblbe”jj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. aote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

It will then copy the repositocy to the 5urrent dicector yougare wn. Azter yhia rlccfobxh lf5eyxlrlac

You should see both the “closev” and thez“kitchen”9directorifs.

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

“Kitchen” will have a few samp2e files ik it, checo it out:
