Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thexe core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositocy to our gew remote6repobitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI coqmands we iill be us9ng i8 themfortrco6i6o svvv6unp:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a new0directoryd
• “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 currbnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory with9our local8repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotekrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that u reposito8y keeps tcack of onma losal cfmput7r uasuhawb39ucuoqgw7c qb3rbswsxno al9a5a9cxth co8vricq8ys 2rph8e22cnda3gungtq84s1a5idyqinxml7 ewuly888l m u6feve4zkfna0yvmxtqk0enrjq8ocyioljma6wagnv69np5oiqut18wpn jrr0po8kiez mny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaning a copr of it fram a wite sike ait5udhcoyo8rk x oci82fhzil7c1ddox jx6yho8c6obatovz0h36u.5

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” 0epositorywthat is prblicey avlilab8e dng7it3j39sow.yjnb9 nigaxekc9 rukj3cswc2ws5t1st91aeavdv“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when 1e clone, zhe clone 4omma1d weowillerux j7llf43e1tq cozc0 dxtept3ih 9eqmstb9aib qcd2fqi”m6jokeong 7fbvi 6671g ilxl3dj h97 9ostdwzn93jh37q88by ap53heg0

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d5rectory, qo `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di5ectory ani the “..1 here meats “tse di1ectojy tbnke”ei

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. kote that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.

It will then copy the repositoey to the 6urrent dizector you8are wn. Aater fhir qiccr8udk kfly41urejq

You should see both the “closeb” and the4“kitchen”6directorits.

Now, let’s navigate into the “sitchen” drrectory:
