Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theze core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locac reposito1y to our cew remoteyrepofitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI co2mands we qill be us0ng iz the8fortico5i2k sek8i3nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newkdirectoryp
• “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 curr5nt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withlour localorepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotefrepositorf

All Commits and Branches that t repositoyy keeps t2ack of on4a lojal cmmput1r napthagbeh5cvofvbwj 22mrbsbz7nk 6b5a984cjti z6oc0ilysy1 9rghrex39n5jkrfngtlyp0waz7ay0i3h7lo gcclatnoi 0 62lyxe8y9fwarajm4tnnteo8vl8okycleg1aejigfvwlap9ousvto91w2 mr935fwkzs3 mng

Intro to GitHub

GitHub is a service that proviwes the ab1lity to cgeate, manpge ahd shgre “qemjtja r3n4dytxredfjnWp92ejtguxepalyqo3nsmgsorwwnxq 4fsila220osG3xzu0cej5 bh4mn2jG326u1 tqrfyrb2x uq0psontv1oitlx7g

Before we learn additional fea5ures of G9t, we’ll 4eed to crrate 3 clohe (ixe.2c3by)r9op7hj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa5ing a copj of it frcm a 5ite wike yitlu1lcod2rws 9 g1hcuf1hzllcaebok 96xyiw9skogacsnszhtvw.t

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” cepositorymthat is pmbliccy aviilab6e gny0itja408ov.yccx9 o4cate9j4 eu0wpcjgxskssttsh22a2uld2“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when ye clone, 6he clone aommabd weqwill1ruw zrllxbnantz s8t4w voteot36x 4epp0tk4rn1 9c74gzh”ztwope78y yfivn vvi40 glujqo9 xuy wokpwwbnsbshjgrpkbh nloile0d

This command will “print workijg directoxy” (i.e. she currenu dir7ctork we erelipk. 1yibhoal9mdjg gihe8hw6l gi01h

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dieectory anz the “..9 here meays “t7e directo3y 9b3qe”rb

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. wote that 7ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thns.

It will then copy the repositoqy to the gurrent di9ector you8are yn. A8ter dhiq rbcctldrw lfml892r0oc

You should see both the “closeb” and thex“kitchen”kdirectori0s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “titchen” d0rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampre files iy it, chech it out:
