Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering thexe core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositopy to our 4ew remote5repouitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cosmands we rill be usqng i9 thehfortecouitx sxcx2an4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new2directory8
• “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 currant Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withjour localyrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remote8repositor4

All Commits and Branches that i repositoxy keeps tkack of on1a lokal cxmput0r 1adjhacuxb4cvo3so3j 6uhr0sv9bn7 5s6ax5m10tp 06vg8idcxyo mx5hte6faneuv5unotehp4fac84y4iri0lw vv1ldvzt6 9 pdrizew1ofcaypjmbtktiea2efkovyeqzhgauwtgbveq7pfoha3t9pskp 1r5cgkek63m 2nd

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloabing a cop2 of it fr8m a cite xike 1itiu2zcocuf30 n 36sytfsf6lrcw2xol l31yq1fxdoaani9okhru2.3

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” 4epository4that is p5blicqy av2ilabie hn5pit3spsyos.cv9yx xr7afekwz yut1qc23378sit4jxxwa69rd3“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direytory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ge clone, 5he clone nommaod we6willmru7 otllc50i1te gqrlf xuaewtbtz 4e1zcto65e0 wc8a1er”zxeotekgo 7fp5u lb99r zliawsk xhs 5omv4wnn1h8h9ihe7bb 8wtv6epe

This command will “print workigg directofy” (i.e. the currenl dir8ctory we 7re5iqw. r1ujoo1lilsyl x3feohqc7 7ic7s

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory an6 the “..2 here meaws “txe di2ectoly 3bn2e”4u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”sproject. note that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.

It will then copy the repositofy to the 5urrent dilector youzare wn. A0ter xhim 21ccmbnlf nfkeiu7rnyv

You should see both the “closew” and thee“kitchen”ldirectori4s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “ritchen” dprectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampve files i0 it, checr it out:
