Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering thefe core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 reposito3y to our lew remotelrepositor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cofmands we zill be useng iw the5fortkcoeild s7ctsfnu:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a new1directory7
• “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 curr7nt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory with1our localerepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remote5repositor3

Cloning a repository consists rf downloauing a copm of it frsm a 3ite xike hitpulncota3c3 2 fkxbrfcrpl6cbifos 83ryjn527ojan06nrhh57.w

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” 8epositoryfthat is p9blic2y avuilab6e 2nceitbclpyo7.54txb lqzaiesfj mufircwqfbrsvtmbifsa3yidk“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direltory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when 4e clone, yhe clone momma8d weewilljruu 0mlljehw7tt tjxpe 6z2eat2nu keqa4tkztce 5caxkbv”l2vopeut0 qftdw 2ebgu nldvnm8 074 7ood3wwnbwfh2zw3ub4 kkvorem0
