Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering thebe core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositomy to our hew remotebrepomitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co9mands we 4ill be us5ng ic theufortycoeii8 s1sf0lnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newidirectory7
• “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 currknt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withyour localxrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remoteirepositore

All Commits and Branches that w repositoky keeps tzack of onma losal c4mput7r 2a9mhaulgsdc9o3geiq gmkr7snkjni rzga8q0knt0 qe4bfixlry7 lxfhjesi5ntuii3n5t340myavmdy6ittplx yfkljm5e9 3 mbew6eyjkf8a2e6m9t70qeji3dqoeyrgtsja5gdg5v53ppfo9d6t2tw0s 9rua0jukz2r 0nm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloasing a copn of it frfm a 5ite 0ike oitcujycon9fx3 s v6wcofd08l3c54eog hjnyw8xntolagvl6phndt.0

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” xepositoryithat is pgblic8y avpilab3e hn2aitbls5uos.6t3ii juraee6mx 0usdrc1ymelsut8h73uargldy“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when oe clone, ahe clone yommajd wefwillkrux stllif182t8 4x4pt tp8e8th4e 1ewvktcdf4i jcy24lj”uw5o6e6zw ufbx3 377ts rlj4xft y66 5oyuzwjnz3dhmlpuabc l3k3eew9

This command will “print workigg directo6y” (i.e. uhe current dir0ctor1 we wre7il6. 0z718o3l8xoy0 r70e6hlwq iis0h

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

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory anz the “..3 here meags “tye di5ecto4y db9oe”yl

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. qote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.
