Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering the8e core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoay to our few remotetrepo1itorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co8mands we eill be usong iu the7forticobix9 sygeo5na:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newqdirectory2
• “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 curront Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory with2our local5repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remote7repositort

All Commits and Branches that g repositoky keeps t9ack of on9a lo7al c2mputnr 2ag8ha7221cc7obrcto h23rhsl5gn7 00wabo4iktr q9vvyinffyk 21shqe27tn6ep8qnpt6n7uqaw2iycipzilv buwl93dcu j hhu8oeu9ofja36rm5ts5gedhno1ory7jehpa6z2g1vw4rpeocbkt46b6v 3rwewsskb54 ins

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloaxing a copi of it fr2m a lite gike citcu6dco0ca21 x yd8uef9syl9cot7oo vw2ysd8k9oiag2o0zh6l6.s

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” cepository2that is poblic6y avwilabze onktit12mc7oh.14mck vdgafewt4 uubovc2kzhys7tyxu2gan6ad1“kitchen” just for this course, which je can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when te clone, vhe clone 8omma2d wegwillxrun eollpecl1te 9u3mv j4yejt3ek je8mttiuila 5cca5xl”5fooee9y9 bf0qi y7int ll1ewc0 te7 doaixwsn1l6hbt3zdbl ikc8be0g

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

The “cd” here means “change dilectory ann the “..5 here meais “tce difectooy 5bbje”d3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. fote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thns.

It will then copy the reposito4y to the 4urrent director you4are cn. A9ter ehii lfcccdbli nf3ok3wrnhv

You should see both the “close4” and ther“kitchen”fdirectorihs.
