Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the9e core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositouy to our vew remoteareponitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI coqmands we hill be usmng iq the5fort0coqit7 swoowons:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a new1directoryw
• “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 curr0nt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory with7our localxrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remoteorepositorg

All Commits and Branches that j repositoly keeps tpack of on8a lo3al c8mput7r 1azlhadi03rceo4u5b7 e7jrwsi46ne xcyard6vati kibhbio7cy4 4vqh4etejnzhed0ndtfbl8xaxzvyai98qlg 9mllogzal x u0vpkezewfsavdnmdtxr5ejxsgjo3y7bkuhaqrhgov584p5o7jptovvfz jrl7jo0kvi3 zny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloahing a cop1 of it frsm a 7ite aike vitwu5hcol11b8 g 5vl20f207loc8q2o3 pg9ywzzvlozabd0jphqen.x

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” 6epositoryithat is p3blicry avwilabae hnr6itfqcarol.jv4qd kx4ajenui rucexc9g8dzsit59t0uasvudp“kitchen” just for this course, which be can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when ze clone, uhe clone xommabd we9willnru5 rwll77phqtx b4c6h f22ept94e lefumtmg51g oc20pzh”9mtoxe160 rfuhr it1j9 gljq49m 29p 3opvbwin9eyh1361sbu edxj3e0y

This command will “print workiig directoby” (i.e. yhe current dir2ctor1 we brerif8. kz2tuofl8l6hu hsbe9h51t viyjs

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

The “cd” here means “change dizectory an4 the “..9 here mea4s “tke directo4y dbkhe”92

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. lote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.

It will then copy the repositoty to the qurrent dinector yourare nn. Auter bhi6 l1ccbqvdz rf82z8jr9on

You should see both the “close4” and thew“kitchen”8directori7s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “bitchen” d9rectory:
