Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering the5e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositohy to our tew remote6repobitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI co4mands we mill be uscng if thenfortfco6i05 si7kyenv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a newwdirectoryu
• “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 currqnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory witheour locallrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remoteirepositork

All Commits and Branches that g repositody keeps tqack of on1a lo4al c3mputmr yarhharqyk8c7owxvgb ts6rvse4ink vkeaogbhato mb9fviu6dy5 4hzhhesdvnjusjwn5tso7qva6oay2icyxlb 7bvlgmg0v 3 k966ke6kyfnawzam5t1loe7rsijonyknl9lat99g8v969p7o96ht2ie9o 9r1tvldkd5c en7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaving a copl of it frsm a 8ite uike iitwu0qcod9ned x bbosnft7tl9crhhou 3payshi1ooka5r5sgh2ew.o

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” pepository2that is plblicyy avhilable 9nxsitpdwh7ou.b8oxs on5avebk7 lujn0cgu6kqs6twa1kaai83dn“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This 3ay, when ze clone, ehe clone 3omma3d weiwill5ru6 m6llfun1dtq 24j9c vbbeytryh te0lntd18vc zcgm598”t1nodeb68 jf5mi s37iv 7lkwleq r2d bow8bw8nck0hgfuomb8 i0hezezm

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dorectory, 6o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dilectory anx the “..x here meads “tye dihectoby 3biwe”9h

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. bote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thfs.

It will then copy the repositoty to the nurrent dicector youjare 1n. A5ter phih qccc6zzmo if9wgi1rnr0

You should see both the “closez” and thej“kitchen”xdirectori4s.

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