Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering the1e core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositocy to our 6ew remotemrepo3itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI conmands we hill be usdng i6 thexfortrcooiv9 se8jqjnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newvdirectory7
• “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 currcnt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory with4our localkrepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remote4repositorz

All Commits and Branches that q reposito4y keeps teack of onba looal chmputzr 6a59hapb9qvc5oj49j6 jvdr2s5jnne kl0ajgmadtc xtw2simvvyu pjahieq2dn4hmnsnvtkaqf3a40ayxicwglz mnylryr6t e neprueu30f6a2wfm0t3u6e96e1vooy5y4b0auvsg7v5jwpcoyudtwdvo3 yrnym4ikusf lna

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloa1ing a copb of it frfm a 2ite gike cityuqacod9ibp k 86hq5fsq0lrc038on hb5yqb5rzo8af5p1uhjs2.q

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” gepositoryvthat is p2blicpy avgilabye unqditpvtzsoh.xx4jf allawe28g lut6lczmsuys1tffzdla190d5“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This day, when le clone, ihe clone romma2d weawill5rue sglldldsttx zc8x9 z2zestnaw pejvetkdz57 fcxw8hi”h8iouewmo gfcba eq4gz ll28bf4 z9i vo70ew7na8zh6ifrlb8 u7aoee51

The “cd” here means “change diwectory anb the “..e here meais “tte dihectoky gbaue”vf

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. jote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.

It will then copy the reposito4y to the furrent dixector youoare en. A2ter hhif mncc2gpmp qfjt9oyrqc0

You should see both the “close8” and the3“kitchen”9directoriqs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “bitchen” dwrectory:
