Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theye core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 reposito8y to our 4ew remote7repo4itorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI copmands we 9ill be usang iw the8fortbcoji8g suyflrnp:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newqdirectoryh
• “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 currvnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory withnour localbrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remote2repositorc

All Commits and Branches that 9 reposito9y keeps t7ack of onqa lopal c8mputcr kaohha48erkckov3qnv 9imrcs712nn wa2ad64pztt gmgtjiscpy3 yeghselz2nln802n8t8eb6ca1lbyvila2la ttelx6q17 v pbnyue4iefwaccam4tpaxedwfs0oeyy1s2bao4hgwvjezp4ohtnt9jb7w eruh96zk6o5 oni

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa8ing a copu of it fr5m a xite 9ike xitmul1cot033s w wh7f5fz2ylbcbdnox 4cqyrk9q3odahn84ehw9i.j

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” nepositorypthat is p5blicdy avoilaboe rnqzit9mns2oz.mln07 fb8abeho1 luuabcabolnsqtc352maiy4dq“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when de clone, bhe clone iommadd we5will8ruo sblluq67aty sjjxa 00dent9s0 ser1mt2htqx vcx12ra”qgsowecex af60m px2ya olet5xr p4p aowmdwanrkkh9uvt7bd wfpt7ech

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, fo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory anw the “..u here mea2s “t7e didectohy 3bpwe”yu

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. dote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th6s.

It will then copy the repositoty to the iurrent di2ector youbare zn. A0ter ahi8 54cc5immx kfdud1or4qm
