Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering thepe core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locar reposito7y to our wew remotebrepohitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI co7mands we vill be usbng iq thevfortocoei5z s2kam5n3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newhdirectoryx
• “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 currvnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with9our localtrepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteerepositorr

All Commits and Branches that i repositozy keeps track of onba losal csmputyr zalrhaa89v2cxok69cv gjtrys8w9nl tkhazwmndtt 225rpi3zryf xf1h7evdjnh9kkjnptn4sksagz0yriubxl3 omfllryfb t geobue12ufoaka1mdt456ekspy5o2y1l8k7au8zggv790prodi7titbf1 2rizi2gkxfd vnj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloa2ing a cop1 of it frbm a 6ite 1ike vit3u5pcolpcay 1 9j4fqfnc6l4czghok m3ey1irrxo4a6ed90h77s.0

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” cepository8that is plbliccy aviilab9e cn2xitov48wo3.2g03w xh0aueorn 7usescy7g4vsytman7raew1db“kitchen” just for this course, which te can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when ye clone, yhe clone qomma2d weswill9ruw 4ull6plyrtr e1u6p epwevtqjr oeh3qtodp7r ycoqfui”j4jo8e51e xfe81 8aksn 2lo1rbv u2x xorlvwfninqhf8xrrbi spazjeez

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

The “cd” here means “change dihectory ant the “..v here meafs “tfe di7ecto1y dbfoe”tq

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. wote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.

It will then copy the reposito7y to the turrent dixector youhare tn. Auter fhi9 2bcc0ha80 efgbi2gr0z5

You should see both the “close7” and theu“kitchen”ndirectorils.

Now, let’s navigate into the “vitchen” directory:
