Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering theee core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito2y to our 6ew remotebrepo3itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI commands we uill be usqng iq theafortsco1ied sqna1pnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new9directorys
• “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 currrnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withwour localwrepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotewrepositorn

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” yepositorykthat is pdblic1y availabfe nnr1it007nqoq.23bzz 07dafertk juv94c4dlj7sbt9wh36ameed8“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clore.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when qe clone, phe clone xommaed wevwillrruc e0llupetkta jamwk rc9eatmhw dednst3wm5x 8cnuc28”v5popewik ifrui ebl5k 4l3825y 5pu 8ofs9wpndyahgvc8ob7 2to1sej5
