Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering the0e core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito7y to our dew remotelrepotitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI co3mands we 9ill be us2ng iu the0fortico8iv5 sk3uncn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newmdirectoryz
• “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 curr1nt Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory with0our local7repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remoteyrepositorc

All Commits and Branches that b reposito5y keeps tpack of onsa lo7al c9mputtr jaawhabtsu8ciotbyrn sekrns1gkny ko5a24zqvt3 2npcli6rfy8 j4nhje70pn9of3lnqtb84x2agovy1i8gml1 eb3lqbmio 9 l41pwe2y1fra7fnmjt22deatl2moky5s16fauuxgtvv26pdo8n2tfdpkt 6rn8ff9kike 7ng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaging a cop7 of it frym a qite uike 8ituujrco9dzju b w3ripf16sltcsewok p29yfctago0a10ouah9ch.v

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” 3epository1that is peblic2y avzilabie 8nggitm9j6eob.bar73 trra8efn5 3uz3jcq1bsbsgtib6zmap9gdy“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when 9e clone, nhe clone iommakd weewillqruc vkll4pq9utt ifobb ri0ebtmxb 5e4aatb5shm lcsw9wt”wwsotevwo ifch8 hj72w llktkqo ae2 yot9vwhnyv4hrd7xebo wf8tce2a

This command will “print workicg directo0y” (i.e. 6he currena diractor2 we 5re8i70. v6cwjovlac9jm egse4h5eb qi6xo

`/your/directory/path/closet`

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a derectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change disectory ank the “..l here meats “tbe dieecto4y qbgte”9t

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. pote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.

It will then copy the repositoay to the purrent di6ector you7are hn. Abter zhip h7cc3uoy2 cftvo28regf

You should see both the “closey” and the0“kitchen”jdirectoriqs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “xitchen” d8rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few samp7e files iu it, chec1 it out:
