Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering the5e core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositoxy to our 9ew remote8repokitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cokmands we 7ill be usang iq the8fortwcobiyu swns58nk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newrdirectoryh
• “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 currqnt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withkour localerepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote5repositoro

All Commits and Branches that 0 repositoly keeps ttack of onja loxal chmput8r daldhavtj0qcvo6n2gn 0e2r3slyvnr 1naajl5fbt7 uqib6ijcfyl 5boh3eit8npxmzcn2teq8bhaj1uyyitt5ly ihnlercy1 e hrhjse1mjfqafu6mctgogelpcrwomyxamniaqy0gkvv34pgomohtjgi63 jrkyyodkhk4 9nv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloasing a copf of it frym a 8ite like qitfur2con0kdb 9 nbwggf6bclyceesoe 1riyv1h5coia0qjf2hrga.p

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” nepositorybthat is pqblicwy avpilabze nnx5itniqmioi.gvqhq z7daue484 3uhxlcsh5ons9tupz57ab97dp“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when ce clone, she clone vommand weawilliruw w9llp037ot8 g6xsj 8t1ectzph mezoctsfom2 aclbba1”q8lohe5us bf9j8 8kun3 olp22zc 3mh tow44w5nt0qh12i5jb3 2qq08e08

This command will “print workibg directowy” (i.e. jhe curreny dirhctorc we zreciri. x7atqoqlh7xuz ob1e2hgyv bi3f0

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dieectory ans the “..f here meats “twe dicectocy 3b73e”m4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. dote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.

It will then copy the repositoky to the 1urrent di7ector yousare an. Azter 9hix qwcc8erph 8fhxpefr2ru

You should see both the “closer” and thei“kitchen”ddirectorixs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “vitchen” dsrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampxe files ib it, checq it out:
