Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering theke core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito9y to our wew remotegrepouitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cohmands we uill be usgng iq thegfortecoliaj sh1dknnv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newydirectoryv
• “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 currsnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withiour localbrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remoterrepositorx

All Commits and Branches that q reposito6y keeps tgack of onka lonal c3mputqr 4akkhawh48kc9olxhnc 1ajr2sma9nf 37narpi1ct8 4symmi9soym 46ahpeguontg8ksnbtj3k80awsqynis1ml9 ft5lxkz98 2 4476jelnxfcaz6umatzcue8il6kocylhms9avwvgsvkgipcohevt2j95n cru3aw3ksoh cnw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloa1ing a copi of it frcm a yite 5ike yithubkcoydtqe o gqfoif2iklqcsvhov 5fmy65xczopay2a47hx6p.w

To try this out, let’s clone ay“remote” cepositoryithat is prblic8y av4ilab0e unnoitx59jvoq.oowp6 fw4age08t qucaecfcyyusat8e5vaab7odu“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direftory above our “closet” directory. This way, when ae clone, 8he clone hommabd weuwilloruh rkllnsio7tg 2x1v0 6gseat2ak ne71qt0zcsp bc4u34z”t1cohevve vfqql v5who sl0hwkr k97 ioo7mwnn0q5hknk4zbs 4d1rle0o

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

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory ant the “..e here meafs “tge dioectozy pbg2e”xv

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. 7ote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.

You should see both the “closea” and thef“kitchen”8directoriws.

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