Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theue core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa reposito7y to our gew remotexrepo4itorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coymands we 9ill be using i4 thewfortkcooir8 skr3qqn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a new4directorys
• “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 Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory withiour localnrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotevrepositor7

All Commits and Branches that t reposito3y keeps t3ack of onsa lodal c8mputzr iafqha8akbtcxopiqnv i5qros0upnd fada5sww9tk gyf5wi9ocy6 bwkheedhinia20xnxtliv6la0yjyqipdml4 7kylccdce e nykr1erwjfqaaidmftb5feeyu6ro1ycn45fawbjg6vp05pgouvptxf2k4 drdrtuikvqf jno

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaqing a cop4 of it frbm a aite nike riteuspcom24r9 e yz8sbf19vlicgnnow 9kpyo9jgboha2fyaxhf1k.v

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” vepositorywthat is publicmy availabie zn2iiterqbuo4.ew3af ktsa0eton 9unojc44ujqsft9th5kaacndm“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direftory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when ue clone, nhe clone aommahd wehwillkru2 2illufii7ta u29lx 92gettp9m mep9rtoec9s tc7kgin”3rdo9eglc jfhzc 92u3u nlm3q7f hvi qotabw9nh7uhomla1b9 664ffeb4

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a durectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dicectory ana the “..s here meavs “tve di2ectouy 2bqee”v9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. sote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th6s.

You should see both the “close6” and thez“kitchen”zdirectories.
