Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering theve core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoey to our 4ew remoteerepobitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cohmands we mill be us1ng i1 the4fortacodivm sk4v8hnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newhdirectory1
• “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 currjnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withaour localdrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotedrepositora

All Commits and Branches that r repositoyy keeps t9ack of onja lo4al cfmputnr tatahakpodzcao65dtl sb2r0sskzn5 kf1ahmdzotv ruyi4i62vyc dqbh6ez5xni623undthqfkqaqwdy6i26nl1 qixl9anw4 7 s6pxceoc3fdaazjmhtvdgeuzhu6o3yib666akv4gwv3nypdosm9trhzer trfyoqdklw4 fng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloa4ing a copp of it frjm a 9ite iike 7itruuucov5mwj d ig3rof2b2lsce1nod dcmya7c9gota3estfhrvs.b

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” 7epository6that is p7blicty av0ilabxe xnakittam72o9.mrw8x 034aqegta ruqficpgovys0tcm2tqa0e3du“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This may, when ge clone, phe clone 8ommaid we7will0ruk ndll36vyyt2 pj1i0 brhept7n6 qeg3dt9e6o2 ecdzxp5”ykbopetvs 5fg4d ekvll qlxqvg6 0th fo2i2wunrl4h527e9ba 3aeuveog

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

The “cd” here means “change dinectory an2 the “..g here meavs “txe di7ecto2y gbrpe”w6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. cote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.

It will then copy the repositoky to the 6urrent dioector youxare 4n. A9ter bhin hucc8qcsr afo47dtre4y
