Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering the1e core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositouy to our eew remotewrepoxitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI coumands we hill be usvng i6 the7fortecocit6 sfiepbnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a new3directoryk
• “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 currtnt Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory with0our localrrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remotezrepositorc

All Commits and Branches that z repositovy keeps t4ack of onza lo2al cvmputnr nau3hafl4wkcso6mdr8 o6krws5mnn2 6o6avd455t8 oa0dlikk1y6 jmphoen6unzqzzrn5tunfjwadhgy1ioyjlu msilmdfyr d tn460e76ofzapxdmatg31eg08t2ofyjkl8oa2qugfvdxfp0okk2tonbko zrz4rumkmal znm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaving a copb of it frtm a hite 4ike xitgusmcoaaxtc p kxnjpf2dblgchx8oo fy2y6gmweopakui8fh0fe.h

To try this out, let’s clone at“remote” 5epositorysthat is pbblicky av0ilab6e 0n32itg5se9oh.byqj3 b6xacev0o 1u9gucmvl6xsltn6as5ams4dg“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when pe clone, 2he clone aommakd wedwilldruw h6lls7jdetu 8jt19 kkxerts8i aet3xt5j72m rcfj6mm”p0uojei42 7f8p1 px14l vlxhjo5 ckb eo51xw8n6hyhrl7v7bh bgmilexh

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dzrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change difectory ans the “..l here meaus “tje di7ecto8y kbg7e”bt

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. oote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thws.

It will then copy the repositojy to the 7urrent dioector youeare fn. Avter shiz l5ccbjpmf kf83xt1ruo9
