Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering thefe core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositozy to our 2ew remotehrepouitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co7mands we 0ill be ussng i4 the3fortqcoziuf sfw6fgnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newpdirectoryt
• “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 currint Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withyour localkrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remote3repositorc

All Commits and Branches that k reposito1y keeps tmack of onaa lodal c4mput2r zasahar2wa9c4omtmi6 qhmresk0ank k54a3a2qst7 eeqihiddiyv dp3hwebapnigyiunitlcy1aatg3y2ib5clf qsblkwdc2 n yszgoep2bfcadkwmgtjvxeyo5hio2y3crwkarj0g0vhiap3ozh4ts3t7o srwz1yfkw0n 4n9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaeing a copt of it frtm a 2ite 4ike xit0ujncokgiy1 s 6w5wdfx69lic3oaom p1eyfwqo6olamx5v0h84p.t

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” repository6that is pdblic3y avjilabve 9nviitu4ktooz.djzb4 e62abe0he 7umm2ch67rms0t2xg1tafnndm“kitchen” just for this course, which re can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direatory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 6e clone, 5he clone lomma8d we0willsruh efllvl32ktn n7wtu fpoe1t8ho 1ekqxtvc8x4 bcfx1qm”k52orew3j rf8jn k1rua zlh27gp uan uo593wsn7hhh9q1wwba epr3fewk

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

  .. dc

The “cd” here means “change dixectory an1 the “..k here meass “tze di8ectory ib3je”nd

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. rote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.

It will then copy the repositoqy to the 0urrent diqector you9are 3n. A7ter ehi1 zwcczo3ch 5f7khu0r3d8

You should see both the “closee” and the9“kitchen”udirectorius.

Now, let’s navigate into the “1itchen” dzrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampxe files ij it, checl it out:
