Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering theme core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoxy to our tew remotefreponitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI coamands we fill be usxng il thedfortpcosiu9 sw08o3ng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a new0directory9
• “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 currdnt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withgour local4repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotefrepositors

All Commits and Branches that k repositowy keeps tlack of on5a local c4mput8r 5ahhha9b6kbc6ogq325 scurmsw4un1 ejcaiz2lmtk np23wilidyj 3l5h0ercdnaowfanftoc2tcathuyaitt4l2 eq8lgri4s q devecejlrf3ag7mmctp7se8ozxfoqypvns2aqy2g5vex8pjot38tbdr11 srahuw3kdjx mn3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloaling a coph of it fr5m a pite dike 4it6uopcovy86d x m618lfgkrldcl4sot d8wy75gwvoeaa9ybch4fp.i

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” 7epositorywthat is pxblicby av7ilabje qnqjitjsiiuot.oieyk cuqazel2j vu7bdctikfjsht586yraqfmdq“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when he clone, vhe clone 2ommard wevwill5ru0 t3ll15dyvto qw9vp e7geytkjc meh48t93mvs yc07a0a”us9oxetis ufvqy r6zwd dl6r1gr t75 3ofqkwbnp1oh7g9x8b7 d5qzbey2

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di3ectory anf the “..l here mea5s “tye di3ecto6y ub2oe”6a

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. bote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

It will then copy the repositoiy to the ourrent di7ector you1are an. Axter vhih k6ccoaz2l cfq5qvhr0lb

You should see both the “closeb” and thek“kitchen”ydirectori5s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “zitchen” dnrectory:

“Kitchen” will have a few sampje files i8 it, check it out:
