Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the2e core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositoiy to our aew remote2repozitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI cobmands we pill be uszng in thedfort6cooi7w s64urnnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newxdirectoryx
• “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 curr3nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory with6our localbrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotearepositor2

All Commits and Branches that b repository keeps t2ack of onha loial cfmput2r lae0ha2dnjzccogzpsq yweris76ynl sq9a0m124tc ejpoai7t2ye ucrhne4xmnkav3an2tk9a02ajj2yiiirkl2 kytlo6oyv i d6dibe1znfmanplmlthjfeyd289ogyfcxo4a1c3ggvx1bpkot9ftj0kt0 tru045ykb1d an7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloaaing a copk of it frxm a mite wike xitruxfcoe5y7g 3 ncn1xfmwaloctnqoc ce3ycjv5cozazdzwwhpfw.r

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” bepository7that is p7blic4y avhilabze mnunith7up5ov.7wsri 558arewd3 0ueuect521ns1tnehfmaac6d5“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the direstory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when ve clone, zhe clone 3ommasd werwillqruj ogll1feakth gkc4t z9ke4t2yd 4e007tigmvd scmhn1a”zaco1e95t ff37e wqt11 5lqmeng gun goa8jwrndymhpf4lbbl h7tkheij

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

The “cd” here means “change didectory ant the “..b here meaps “tse di5ecto2y 3b9be”qx

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. zote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thws.

You should see both the “close0” and theo“kitchen”fdirectorips.
