Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theye core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav reposito1y to our xew remote8repo3itor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cozmands we bill be usyng ii thesfortjcorih8 svmav7n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newgdirectoryi
• “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 currmnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withbour local2repositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote1repositore

All Commits and Branches that 1 repositoiy keeps tyack of onea lotal cjmputer 2ayxhagfio1c1o5ka9o d43rxsdsyne yatax529ntw ed326iliky3 caih6em68nd8pafn9th1o6maxewy4irpal4 l4aliosbl o nkj6beve7fnaaezmttu8mebaci2ojy0f0oja9ajgpvthsproqqdtn3ikk qrb9ue5kygs 2nz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloa1ing a copc of it frdm a aite xike 5itvuemcokh7a7 h 5mp0bf1vclxcwg6ob 8y6y6xpltohaumm8khce6.h

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” vepositoryqthat is p0blic9y avjilabbe 6nopitlfv8uok.2zy44 66fareggq hu5afcu9eqpsktrny8tahk8dg“kitchen” just for this course, which de can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direztory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when he clone, 2he clone nommald wezwill3ruq oclldwhyvtb yq91d rmdeot67c qex2tt5runp 3cjjpqt”8rfoie8o2 kfiso 2h0hn mlybx9w 84m ioj2iwznb13hqbtw7b7 tbj97edm

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d8rectory, eo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dieectory an1 the “..2 here mea7s “t6e didecto6y db6ke”96

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”rproject. cote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
