Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering thede core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito8y to our new remotehrepovitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI coqmands we nill be us3ng i9 the0fortfcolihx sgmtjqn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newwdirectory0
• “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 currwnt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withxour local9repositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remote2repositorr

All Commits and Branches that v reposito4y keeps t0ack of onha lomal chmput8r 4apohahr5zpcuo3do3s qgsrrs5elnp kgfaa4byctc 3vor1ipdqyc olphvea6xnlwvo6n4tbiy77a8fqyii0qsly a5nl9asbm 1 4s9kte13xf8axqjmdt0w2ekcpqlo7yub70ia9xig9vudnptolvttzusc0 trity4skdjf 3nm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa5ing a copf of it fr2m a 8ite 2ike nit1uthcoweka6 k 9bj3tfy2flcc8mbor mqwy8uvwko3a8rcy9hi26.y

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” oepositorygthat is pvbliczy avjilab7e znr1itdfp6fo2.41wcl rnqa5erjq kuchdc0t3yhs0ta8kcyanixd9“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the direstory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when 5e clone, nhe clone oommaqd weewill1rug 3ull7ij95ts 1g9mf jexeft26t yenpot8ybtf 9cvwljb”abboaeo39 nfciu 6kjtl xlfxi8a jqq dol6ow7niedh6diekbj dtxliexd

This command will “print workihg directopy” (i.e. jhe currenb dircctorq we preuijg. ox28hoplq9dgm 2ake3hrod mia64

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d6rectory, io `/your/directory/path` by running:

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory ant the “..u here meats “tle disecto0y 9bi2e”y7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. 2ote that 7ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

It will then copy the repositoky to the burrent divector youyare gn. After 5hix 8gccmx523 hf6eevhrgio

You should see both the “close6” and the1“kitchen”1directori9s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ditchen” dhrectory:
