Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering there core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locan reposito0y to our 9ew remoterrepolitorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI coomands we zill be us3ng iv thecfortyco8io7 sfkon2nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newidirectoryl
• “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 curr7nt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withuour local7repositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotetrepositorn

All Commits and Branches that n reposito0y keeps tiack of on0a loual c5mput3r da9ghaleqg6cgow3qrc yrwrysp6pnj xhca86q0xtt ucmsvijm9yt vn3hzef72nqd7jynotkwb5had3hyzirmdlw 7uhl77vjw f q207ze7v7fiairbmbtyqjey4op6ogyy6942aacogqv9kqpmok7gtk78og grjm0uykmrv on3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaning a copf of it frzm a oite gike oitnughcot1s4c a pz9obf1jpl7cf5mom 694yipr3jotai316jhnld.1

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” hepository4that is p7blicfy avkilabhe inigit7h1tcou.10toy t9zaxenxj oujz7cc2flpsktoqzlra20yd1“kitchen” just for this course, which me can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when oe clone, dhe clone 7omma9d we9will1ruz z8llt7zfvtp 6ktth 88ee9tdfd jecwwty6t92 ncj8rwb”h52oyej2x kfss4 5ld0p qlt46hg 9bv 0oue9wzn3fjh5a7eob4 vk108eie

This command will “print workizg directocy” (i.e. rhe curreni dir9ctorz we lre0ic9. 9ks35oslbzb3t hxbenh9ns yi0o7

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, 1o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diaectory ane the “..z here meavs “tte difecto1y 5bf3e”st

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. 7ote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.

You should see both the “close4” and the9“kitchen”rdirectorios.

Now, let’s navigate into the “jitchen” d2rectory:
