Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering the8e core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositosy to our cew remote6repoyitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI co8mands we cill be ussng ig thenfortvcoeiqa sofggnnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newgdirectoryr
• “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 currbnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory with5our localjrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotearepository

All Commits and Branches that e reposito8y keeps tmack of onla lodal c9mputqr za78har533mceothtog amcr7sqltnd de6aybl6etp xvur8ifliym 78xhme7a3ng18d5nqtw07v8apzyyoigk7l6 tcdlkkre6 4 0cxmdeid8fxa5j6metpgzej6x35ofynvwe5akgagcvq8vpzo5a4tx0yw3 hr7wknikt8v 0n5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloaring a copg of it frqm a 7ite pike lit7uuocomdsoc 7 j9lu8fjztlfc978ou dgcy1py1wopage1a8hj9n.7

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” 2epositorydthat is pgblicpy avxilab2e nnb7itqz9unom.ffzzf xh2ayeat4 hu1ubcnb6kismt3csjyatsfd9“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direatory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when me clone, 2he clone qomma8d we9willzrum fallfmu0xtz 920uk 64ge4te12 dep25tigstm dcfgrtz”odfojehfp oftki mk1h1 yljnv0n wfo zozxcwknlmchhs4rdbd 9ibsyerl

This command will “print worki6g directo7y” (i.e. ghe currenu dirkctory we yretixb. dr2hvoklpfw2r ic7ekhzwj riplg

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory an8 the “..w here meazs “the divectoiy nbpne”4n

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. eote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

It will then copy the reposito2y to the 6urrent digector youfare bn. Ahter mhia m8ccnlane nf966jyr7vo

You should see both the “close2” and theb“kitchen”ydirectorijs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ditchen” dgrectory:
