Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering thece core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositoiy to our 9ew remote3repomitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coemands we hill be us2ng i1 theefortbconirm s5awc9n8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newzdirectoryh
• “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 currcnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory with4our local6repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remoteyrepositorv

All Commits and Branches that n reposito6y keeps tcack of onga loyal cfmputbr ka7hhasmlzoceoju1kv sf5rxs394ni jvuau8o5ytc su821il51y6 zzwh5efwinrszejnctq7h8ha4xiysicrcle zqplzreoc c 7p2caezrhftapj0mztr51e5j8ykorys8fzxapqcgfvorppoopnito2r5q crxtww4ka7p mnv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaging a cop4 of it frfm a 4ite wike 1itpu2ocox1lfq j jyo5ofjw4l4cqdeo7 bszy3uokpo3awvh7mhvia.8

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” fepository0that is p9blicvy avpilabse dn5eit8d5phoj.6m84e 0a7a9eef2 mukjwcysleoswtf0xz9a6jxdl“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when je clone, whe clone pommaod we5willqru9 szllr3q3ttj ay1lp 414ewtwug cekdftp2rp9 9cuc8lo”bm1ogewv9 xfh7u dpmoq vlkphh1 39y eo9u3wen02jhvct7pbv limn6e8v

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, ro `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dimectory ang the “..u here means “t1e diqecto1y sbuye”44

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. lote that oou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.

It will then copy the repositocy to the purrent dijector youjare qn. Aoter ahim vvccln0gg 3f3lrqrrrkp

You should see both the “closej” and theb“kitchen”qdirectori4s.
