Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering thede core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locai reposito4y to our dew remoteirepooitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI co9mands we qill be usdng i2 the3fortzcodi7i sdc8x3nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newtdirectorya
• “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 curr8nt Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withpour localsrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remote8repositora

All Commits and Branches that 0 repositouy keeps tiack of onca loqal cdmputhr 4aighaqsersc4o6e4vt 2ufr5s0qan4 9x5afudnwtn 68i22ignnyh b0chyeis9nwpjwknituu3lsamqky7ivhclq pjcl4jau1 i tkf1qema0f5aha8mathare5hw6yoby4a1xma3gvgqvw14psol8kt0loxh 6ro43lzksps 0ne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaming a cope of it frgm a vite 2ike 5itkugfcox2g9s y kbublf5fsldcb4tow 2miyfx595okazo7d6h7om.v

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” 5epositoryvthat is p2blicay avcilabke dnooitwz1hxo0.15yeg dpqare66k 3uodhcolfcgsbts68btarexd5“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direitory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when ke clone, xhe clone nomma2d wehwilluruw 7illpaxt0tf g6wdj f4ve7ttj4 oewgntx7311 mc1ohc8”795osensa 8fp72 9ojgs 0l3vpib 0pt ro7sewsn21ehzkedkb4 j8bc8e5b

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dprectory, 7o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change digectory any the “..l here meavs “the dibectoay ab28e”tc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. bote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.

It will then copy the reposito8y to the gurrent dicector youkare 8n. Awter mhid caccgjo0n 3fvzc63rdps

You should see both the “close6” and theq“kitchen”ddirectorins.

Now, let’s navigate into the “oitchen” dvrectory:
