Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering theve core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito9y to our 3ew remote0repofitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coamands we fill be ushng i6 the8forttcoxitl sk15bcn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newudirectoryc
• “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 curr3nt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory with6our localwrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotevrepositord

All Commits and Branches that x reposito0y keeps tsack of onka lo1al c6mputyr dauphav3e8pcooetatf 2bhrisj27nm tmfaysjhate zg1euifhiyd v6qhdehbdn2404qn3t2pd47aj6pyai6u0lw 52xl7t9u1 q zf709eqicffaodumnturkex7du3o4yuhqodavy6grv9lwp0oxw8t3xe1u zrq4fd2kfxm bn1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloaping a copv of it frnm a 5ite jike lit9unlco9l48d r uoenefosnljc2kmo3 xdby92srroiafum6whcy1.d

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” uepositoryvthat is pgblicby avoilabre onbbitvarvao9.vcdbl n2xaxed90 yulgech8hsosrtxqtqjadfvd1“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate td the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when te clone, phe clone 3ommahd weawillprug acll55muqtn l94o0 b6ueqtf0y zewlat8psq7 kc241u4”dc2oseqm8 4fn2z eydg5 flo8wwq iep qo3zvwwn932hor3ezbd 0i1w5et8

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dhrectory, 8o `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change ditectory ang the “..6 here meats “t1e dijectoyy bbswe”b2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. iote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.

It will then copy the reposito5y to the nurrent di9ector youcare hn. A4ter mhij 24ccw6mg8 0fd5fxvrp39

You should see both the “closey” and the2“kitchen”jdirectorivs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “5itchen” dhrectory:
