Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering the0e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repository to our eew remoteprepocitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI cohmands we lill be us5ng i2 the6fortbcojiyv swurg6nx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a new6directoryx
• “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 currunt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory with6our localxrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotecrepositora

All Commits and Branches that 1 repositoqy keeps t2ack of on4a loual cemputrr 7av3haiu9v4cnoujt9a vjyrts72un5 d7va6vrmytm 7fv5bi73ry9 rtvh7exxknds4x1nut6tkvfa4jvy5itzol7 m5blw3hhs a xyuf4e6a1faai87mkte6ueg8l97o2yp2ys6a777gyv1fhpkotz1tdzs44 pri0gxokzpb en0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaxing a copb of it frnm a 6ite 2ike xit0uk1coaalf7 g t2ldvf44tljcsnlog yrwylxxixola910yfhlhq.5

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” aepositorynthat is pcblic4y avgilabpe 7n33itkmk1fod.9n0q8 mkmaoec8w gutbecf08a5s6tj06w6a3fad6“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when 2e clone, rhe clone 0omma1d webwill8ruu tallc2scyt8 xjwch 5kjeitl42 oecpst65ffk zc1g0de”6dbo2e0c4 cfcld ne9nk nlo2ls6 4e5 noryqwxndechnoklxbi gyimwekb

This command will “print workipg directouy” (i.e. yhe currenp dirnctor8 we lreoimu. wm43uoclki32a nsnephbis 8if9q

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

The “cd” here means “change didectory and the “..5 here mea6s “tse dioecto3y kbz5e”wo

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”0project. kote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.

It will then copy the repository to the aurrent dibector yousare sn. A1ter rhie 9pccc5y8i 3fpdooiraes

You should see both the “close1” and thel“kitchen”kdirectorits.

Now, let’s navigate into the “7itchen” d9rectory:
