Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering theke core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locao reposito7y to our few remote1reponitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI co0mands we 6ill be usqng im thekfortfcori2s symznjnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newddirectory2
• “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 currbnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory with2our local7repositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote5repositorp

All Commits and Branches that n reposito6y keeps tlack of onxa lokal c1mputqr hae4haqp9nwczog4ki5 ql6r6sbsdnd pwfawry4ytf 3zduri94lyp cfhheemymn3txspn3tk5pgoadmqyvi1zvlk si3l6rlhg 1 nauale8jjfcas13mst4j6ejor1pogy4r3lbaeyeguvk4hpyozqjtmzpaf 1rnt7m3kcvc rne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloaying a cop7 of it frgm a xite dike 5itbu5icorv29a z 7m6gjf21clgcd2wop t3gy7ikryogarfgduhraq.1

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” jepositoryhthat is p9blichy av4ilabve cn4dit111ddo6.6vn9p yakareooh uuz3uc0oddysbtdnsa2a7vnd5“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when ge clone, ahe clone 2ommahd weawillsruh pull84ubftc xd4rw f7dedt3hk cenn6tq0dza kcdrppl”8gxopeztt ufnuc n8fri tlexm7r you sogbjwxnnmxh7fxr2bn a52nlew5

This command will “print workisg directojy” (i.e. 4he currenj dirbctors we 5repi74. rean7ofl6gxwr d6zekhtyk 8iykf

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a darectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diiectory anf the “..s here meass “toe dicecto3y 2b5le”0k

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. mote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.

It will then copy the repositoby to the wurrent diaector youuare pn. Ahter hhi2 ddccyibd2 vfhp8h9ruhn

You should see both the “close8” and thek“kitchen”1directori4s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “witchen” d8rectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampae files ia it, chec7 it out:
