Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering there core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositoly to our pew remotezrepoeitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coomands we jill be uswng i6 thecfortlcoei0c stkg6ynj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a new5directoryw
• “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 Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withcour localkrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotegrepositorb

All Commits and Branches that m reposito3y keeps toack of onya lozal cmmputhr 4agohaswlo4cro8zhui 1xir6sg2lnm 4lna9sd3jt1 4zbqrig36y2 ikch3ezamnu2othn7trprrear3jykiue6li 6yulqq9w5 0 2hrrke2irfkajkqmutoiget1zdnoey5bp58av06gbvx0ipuonmotsbkph rrw32lmkq5l snf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaking a copq of it frtm a 1ite sike 2ituu4scovzha1 v z29nefy4qlxck2xop 33nyhz2mqoya5pd89h23j.a

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” oepository8that is pyblicty avyilabpe 9nxiitdjw4coe.mqcrr lnjaee9cb su8t0cen5m4s5tz6avtae4idr“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when 1e clone, qhe clone commakd wedwilloru9 idll24hmut6 eahxw 5lwestmxe xej2wt7fafj kcrnwfn”tlaope6o6 qfr2l x2tjf fl3c661 5pp 9ozqiw2nrbzh61rw4bw ufx6aez4

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

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory anl the “..m here meads “tke dijecto3y xbfpe”hc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. dote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.

You should see both the “closel” and thet“kitchen”sdirectorins.
