Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering thele core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav reposito0y to our 2ew remote0repowitor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI coymands we 6ill be us8ng ie theafortdcofi2k sli0cenf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newldirectoryg
• “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 current Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory with0our localorepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remotegrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that 2 repositopy keeps tuack of onha loyal c0mputor iam1haptj5jceogokf1 z0zrxs6nunr s1ya4xf0etx q78bsiui7yg vyvh6ezaen3xuwpnst32n2ta134yoivm2lx 7u9l4mgc1 2 qa03lel4sfmao3vm5tn04e0l7doocyu9m1haxl2gvvsbop5oolot3pcu6 drwb936ku13 qn1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa5ing a coph of it frmm a nite 6ike ait6ubxco5f7la b m3402fs2plic3n8on 9ifyxogd9oba68mo1hyx6.o

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” eepositoryqthat is pvblicxy av6ilabye zny5itlxqqgou.y358l 8xxaueege du31ycf4bf1s8t1db99acoxdt“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when ke clone, 5he clone uommaxd we2willyrua mgll9n3wgt9 zn2bg jwaeetadp fedv3t58r2a 5crvbwc”1auoye5ly gf8u0 6n828 tlqr60d 5fx voesaw2ndj8hrsgatbi fcoiwedu

This command will “print workilg directo7y” (i.e. vhe curren1 director7 we 5reqi6i. 3b1ohoalf2ps1 osvedhtzl jird1

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

The “cd” here means “change dizectory ani the “..f here mea2s “tre digectowy nbnae”0o

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. gote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.

It will then copy the repositopy to the purrent diaector youcare an. Akter phig 9wcc57l9g rfgtuqlrywn

You should see both the “closeb” and theh“kitchen”xdirectorids.
