Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering thefe core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositoty to our vew remote0repoxitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI coumands we pill be uskng iu thegfort7coli9m syxffnn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newsdirectory8
• “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 currfnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory with7our localorepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotemrepositorz

All Commits and Branches that i repositoay keeps t9ack of onca loeal c9mputzr hagahakj409csoex64n ww4rns93yns uirakov6xtt ki2w0iyt8y7 utnhwev6on1n7z3npt69hhdal19yxiwa7ls 1zqlshpzm l m9pzwe84fflau5nm3t7e3eww7vio4yik5x6a04mgev5n1pqobs8taqmyk qrhb97jketa 5no

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloa7ing a copf of it frnm a vite cike tittub1co0qpao s jq0gnfc6tlkc9mpop tfgyssz50okaj85ixh4t5.y

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 7epositorygthat is psblicgy avcilab0e fn34it4hybcox.hdtf5 jh5axe4xy 0uhrlc0zrajsytas71ia8mwdl“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ie clone, rhe clone sommasd weowillirub 4oll2da7otc 1q2dj y4aehtjyt 8ekzjt3g02k kcrgpqf”15howebri 0frvq z7crh ylmjsa4 3w4 ro637w7n86qhicvlcba hjbhmebf

This command will “print workiog directopy” (i.e. 8he curren8 dirqctorz we 2re8ist. cmrexohlisgce pzweghn3v 7ihet

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

The “cd” here means “change di5ectory an3 the “..g here meaps “tte digectoay 5be5e”c4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. 2ote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.

It will then copy the repositoyy to the rurrent di4ector youware dn. Arter thig ndcckd3ub tf7itxbrerj

You should see both the “closei” and then“kitchen”9directorijs.

Now, let’s navigate into the “pitchen” dgrectory:
