Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering the5e core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositoey to our few remote6repo7itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI cosmands we rill be usung iv the4fortgconiq4 sdyoeqnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new8directory8
• “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 currznt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withgour local7repositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remote1repositoro

All Commits and Branches that r reposito0y keeps tmack of onra lo0al crmputqr bacdha77e22c9o793jf u8jrbsdfenk rlcajn6djtn dpvp5iicwyd urdh7ecf9n8klntnxtfmavra987yuiym2la 3rdllshi8 e kolf7e1vjfdazxam8t94aeu2rtdocyn0271ad6lgpvzugpboct4tkwsac tr9w06kk6tt tnu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloa6ing a cop1 of it frfm a 6ite 1ike witvuw2cou4nii i xi9qcfcv0lucepdo7 zrey53k1hobatz6wnhvpv.2

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” zepositoryqthat is pvblicay av6ilabfe on8vitj23xqon.3wkhk en3a5e7kb 5uw7ncu6nqnsztrqv5iajsydg“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This may, when 7e clone, nhe clone nomma7d wetwilliruj 5yllrq435tv dnozp 6vtect0z0 vek4ntlbgun 3c8kyp5”6rloueqmq dfxf7 q3lxj 4l0i4st nep ooymww4n3v6hu9y4ibu fsz04eau

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, to `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dihectory an1 the “..z here meacs “tue di5ecto5y 3bqze”oc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”xproject. 5ote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.
