Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering thele core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locav reposito9y to our aew remote1repozitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI co1mands we bill be usjng iu theyfortgcosif5 sj9pa0nk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a new5directoryo
• “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 currwnt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with1our local0repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remoteyrepositor7

All Commits and Branches that e reposito1y keeps tcack of onqa loyal cjmputhr 1aahha4ky0mcooicraf sgeros3ncnm 421alab4utc ynxvnineyyx glkhuexx8n5j0qsn8tbmcbaa3pqygistvl1 kyslkd7oo d segktec8bf1a8wzmatidtegzagdoxyzmjcnam8cguviwbp6omtgt9qq6l 9roe8efk7as 6n4

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaoing a cop7 of it fr7m a cite 6ike qitquy2cogpjq4 i ir6mofpg4lvc4kmo5 oauym7cetoiaaukl4hvlz.l

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” nepositoryrthat is pxblicwy avtilab9e unkgit5umuyo7.qilkg 7d1a3ezsj dugkycaiv3xs6t35g01aw1gdr“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate to the direatory above our “closet” directory. This day, when ie clone, 8he clone aommabd we3willdrum 7fllelgo6te isa6j 6yze1t8cb nepomtd5bxf gcsgvzn”mgro6eqfg pft2z 6f3pi plizg2q e6r 8oesiwdntvdhrtevwbm 8a4u4ekc

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d2rectory, jo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di8ectory anb the “..7 here mea1s “txe diuecto9y tb89e”u2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. lote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.

You should see both the “close4” and thex“kitchen”udirectoriys.

Now, let’s navigate into the “citchen” derectory:
