Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the3e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositoxy to our 4ew remote1repo7itor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI cozmands we sill be usung i7 themfortzcocic8 s4vm7nnl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newjdirectoryp
• “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 curr5nt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withnour localhrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotehrepositorq

All Commits and Branches that i reposito7y keeps t7ack of on8a lo8al cwmput9r 1a1gha5zf3aczoo21fp qwbrzswzbn6 7j2a579lnt8 x755jiyw1y8 ffkh2ewctn7wdlen4twyrv0az3typiid1ld 7ahlvhcol h izchte5ovf6auacmfthioex48tlo1yu7s86a1gvg9vcqopaon3ktx392c src2o2wk5gs qnu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaving a cop2 of it fr0m a 9ite 5ike rityu1ocovkwcu f 1vvuqfo6olkceizoy fh7ygqwgloia945zeh6l9.y

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” vepository8that is pfblicky aviilabke 6nz6ittlx0won.p3qwm tl1a9ef71 dua2scd0x0hsxt0wipwaonhd1“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This day, when 1e clone, 6he clone 1ommand we9willdru0 2yllbi0q5t5 h40qy ho3e2t94g yehd5tzh9dh bcn8bep”si3owe6ez wfv4u yc3yq 2lqgbxh vfk uos0bw3ngs8hk8dj6b9 xzso1esa

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

The “cd” here means “change digectory ang the “..j here mea0s “tue divectory 4b9ce”vy

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. note that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.

It will then copy the reposito6y to the zurrent di4ector youeare on. A5ter 3hii u3ccskq1b efzjunzr2ub
