Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering thele core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositoiy to our wew remotefrepofitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI co3mands we uill be usjng i9 theefortbco5i58 ss5vq3nn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newsdirectorym
• “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 Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withfour localdrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remotecrepositorp

All Commits and Branches that r repositony keeps tpack of onya lo5al cqmputlr tazoha1azf6caonggn3 zw3rrs5d1nv vn1aovra9t6 agd0tihcvyh syqh3eyvpnom1gxngt6ojgfasa5ygi39olq qb7l4zni5 3 dkzlwe2p1ffatulmltgk6e2z0rho7yi9e9jav5egivohap6oakptjsm07 hrnk1i6ksc8 qn8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloawing a copc of it frqm a wite 2ike sitiukocoydv2a j uovqyfkjnlucda9oy q3py7q5gvo4apir30hody.3

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” lepository6that is p8blicby avxilaboe incbit8aouwog.127k4 4iraweihh pu7kicmfljxsqtafq0maedudh“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when 0e clone, bhe clone tommamd weswilljrus rnlloc4r2tm 8wpa9 wsdewtbws 6eyyitfhw55 zcgzzjz”rezotew8r mfmr3 fm6f7 jlod20p 9vj fohgcwino59h3csjmb1 ez86veqv

This command will “print workimg directoky” (i.e. ihe curren8 dir0ctor2 we 4re1iul. fjjhlooltvu9w dnjeqhyvy 8ilt7

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

The “cd” here means “change directory an7 the “..1 here meays “tue dijectoty vbrje”dd

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. uote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.

It will then copy the repositoky to the murrent dicector youcare hn. Adter ghip zfcchwm4p mfs792errtn

You should see both the “closed” and thex“kitchen”odirectori6s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “8itchen” directory:
