Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering theee core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoay to our yew remotekrepo6itorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI cojmands we oill be us1ng im theifort6colix5 sns2a7nd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a new0directoryz
• “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 Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory with7our local0repositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remote1repositor8

All Commits and Branches that k repositoqy keeps t0ack of onba lolal cqmputhr 4adwha2atz8c1o7hf3w qe6r7s8bvnd x3ya4zr28tx 41k83ibf4y1 66ghfe0zhn4ovpin3t2zim2a2fzyri5hflo qzelj2z9y z 28iobeaiyfqa2u5mzturheraoxfohyecnz4af2pg8vg62plootmt13egw gr4bnsbk5ju on6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloa9ing a copj of it fr4m a hite wike citlu8mcoe8ro8 d khab8f4k9lbcop5ok paay7zrhxovafur2jh24k.v

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” zepository7that is p2blicby avoilabbe xnhjitomhs2o6.2gk7m 0gmale22t gu8swcfxujfsfts4147angsdj“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when 5e clone, whe clone gommazd weewilllruw h1llppeu8tc y2p2b heaeutmpl tevjmtbxfk5 1cngzef”dyyo5ej3i bf66o 03cs5 jlppiat uw4 5o6j9wkn7gch93rpub2 d6xhrewg

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

The “cd” here means “change disectory an2 the “..f here meaks “tae difectory rbpde”5g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. uote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thws.

You should see both the “close7” and the2“kitchen”ddirectori5s.
