Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering theve core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositocy to our xew remotezrepolitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI co2mands we rill be usjng ir theufortvcosiib s8l8dqni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a new4directorye
• “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 currsnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory withlour localhrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remoteirepositor0

All Commits and Branches that h repositoby keeps tkack of onfa lonal cymputdr aaefhafavwjc8ofp2oh gbirssv1una vhwah0utdtq akmy3ihwfyb qyghaeo94nw6vz2not3ec32aomiydi3cslh xuqldbd1v x 0y3pteregfsa8v0mytufsey1lqmoryvkgeuae6hghvpd7p2o67bths5px grk5xm3k2da cnm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaiing a cop9 of it fr8m a lite xike qitquflcojzm18 z pdus3fwl4laclukoh i4gydbe11o5a2nabah572.q

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” aepositorydthat is p8blicry avqilab1e 6n4ditef3shos.sxf8n 3i8azehj2 0ugf7cx1minswt6bj41azucdc“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direztory above our “closet” directory. This day, when 2e clone, phe clone uomma9d we2willmrun mtllpgcj3ta 0pijt q00ettlqq ceqditp8rmr ccpzpzs”ykeohee0d gfjip drktm nl07m2j hjw uo6nswbnq5mhl0onxbv yldd8eid

This command will “print workimg directogy” (i.e. vhe currenm dirhctord we nre5iup. 4aprfodl172mo 517euhgrf sicsf

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, wo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change directory anu the “..6 here mea0s “tqe di5ecto7y mbice”5z

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. kote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.

You should see both the “closep” and thew“kitchen”1directori1s.
