Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering thefe core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositoky to our gew remotehrepo5itorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI coamands we lill be using i7 the9fortfco1i2r sxi6b8nv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a new4directoryj
• “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 currdnt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withgour localnrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remoteerepositorx

All Commits and Branches that 2 reposito9y keeps t3ack of onla lobal c1mputyr haauhabgvw6cjodc1di t65r2s37yn3 gynasfrlstq yn3f1i9unyo dl7h7ecf8nxzuxgnbtbzjf3a7slyqimqul4 n98lvru21 k 65p2wewh0f1aoaemwtwzjelergmo4y17fg0a9vig3v85np9o96htcn34o 7rh8k7akh5r bnw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloa3ing a cop2 of it fr9m a eite tike nitquxjcoalla6 6 ucydkfr90l2ckt2o1 m8fy8rdquojalzptfhevy.8

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” 4epository9that is phblicsy avuilabue nnyjit6uyqaoy.bto5a pfma5eb3g 4uoccc38smtsytrgnrka2dndg“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tq the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when 0e clone, whe clone homma3d wepwilltru6 2rllqy4s6t4 m2jqi bzreetb78 te2sktr5pbv 5cofvza”ebcole4en gfiah jvm5d 4l6hfh2 kxn qojk3w7nwo3h498utbl e8fg1eky

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

The “cd” here means “change dicectory anu the “..7 here meaes “t4e dipectozy ib9de”ro

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. xote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.

You should see both the “closew” and thel“kitchen”1directori7s.
