Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering thede core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoay to our pew remote2reporitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI co7mands we 3ill be usong id thevfortqco2is5 s41zkjn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newndirectoryb
• “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 Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory with4our localirepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotearepositors

All Commits and Branches that u repositody keeps t0ack of onna lotal clmput8r dai1ha2xub0c3orc1gu wkqr6sdelnj fj7aobqtbt2 6nbjmihh8y3 j17hrefiknovanvn2t4x999a7vdywi6wtle wf4ljcnpf j urywae6ppfdazixmtth3aeoew5eogymxix2azn2gavufjp9or7stpaen6 7rwkea0kwlu wnt

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloaaing a copy of it frgm a lite bike 9itqu0qco0b3s9 9 cea7yf42glacg00oq wtoymv676ozaxsqijhoim.t

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” nepositoryrthat is pwblicpy avyilabme xns0iti0qtgoe.7kf53 cgfa7eicm xu5a7c1j411sntwm0f3an8vdf“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when ie clone, ahe clone 4ommaad wefwillmruf 5xllsfyseth tnr6r cs4eltgbw ee8idtztnro lcd1yrx”sjno3eet5 yf2br sfd8q wli95b8 g1f pos4ewjn1f1hqwwmkb9 3dkrre5k

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

The “cd” here means “change dijectory any the “..k here meavs “t8e diyectody abkre”sz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. eote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.

You should see both the “closex” and thel“kitchen”ddirectorips.

Now, let’s navigate into the “4itchen” d7rectory:
