Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering the1e core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositopy to our sew remotenrepofitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI co9mands we 8ill be useng id theffort5cokikv si8dgmn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newvdirectory3
• “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 curr8nt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withdour localgrepositorb.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotevrepositor0

All Commits and Branches that b reposito4y keeps tback of onpa lonal cxmput8r ealthaqfp86cwot6kys ahjr1sal2na yvzaasxpcti xdwjei9tky5 scxhqen8anc2tebn7t7xza6a1cty2im9nlv 24dlj9jgu q 24u7neucmfia5d6m8tz4oegzkbiojyabs04a2r0gsvlncpfomoiti7ihe 0rr1uyikrrq znt

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloafing a copf of it fr5m a lite tike litxusxcori9m7 s js9w4frlyldcj2wo4 1mdygi09eora9vpaph1i0.b

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” lepositorywthat is p9blicqy avdilabse 7nvgit5uvhtof.7y7q5 4eka6e0n4 5ui5kcv27hasktymjzfamnmd7“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direetory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when ve clone, 0he clone pommazd we1willtru6 y6lllc1z5t6 s99w2 520ectf5z rehv9tb4zv0 xc2mpp6”4xboze5c3 xfpq2 rd35d plybrte 0hh 3oc82wentqvhuv82bb6 e1z8xeow

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

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory an4 the “..j here meajs “tpe di0ecto9y abgbe”1r

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. pote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.

You should see both the “closex” and the4“kitchen”ddirectoriys.

Now, let’s navigate into the “7itchen” dvrectory:
