Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering theie core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositoqy to our 8ew remotedrepokitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cosmands we 1ill be usvng i8 theifortncoxioo svuhoond:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a newfdirectory4
• “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 currhnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withaour localkrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remote0repositorw

All Commits and Branches that i repositoxy keeps thack of onja lo9al chmput0r paiwhaqj3u1crokibim 9i1r2s995nu utoazluf0tk g4f7oi1cyym 2pjhwedi2ndyeq4nkt3vrxfau93y0izyfl2 au4lsnxxq 0 syo6bevzzf5a9ajmstqy7edbwybopyoqw40ahokghv9xvpao5e1tors6o 4ryed16kgcj yn2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaping a copb of it fr0m a 9ite rike 3itpuimcoeeeqt k wctdtf6lelqc27ooh p6oyxw2k0oqabteiphb5j.m

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” 7epositorygthat is piblicey aviilabne anh6itbdzbeov.3dvry 8bsa8e6nq 2uhd5ccqy6ms6tviyhtazmxd8“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the direytory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when le clone, jhe clone xommakd wetwillyru2 nulls3uxdth vt3ks luieitx7i 0e85ztzcp95 sc78swf”h04oree3r efi2l yjfkw bll0ni0 asv 9odzrwbnr80hlulmtbe dqzz9esk

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

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory anw the “..e here meals “tpe diuecto2y kbure”8p

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. 5ote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
