Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering thece core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repository to our aew remoteqrepo2itort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI cobmands we dill be uslng i9 theefortpcovi8a stdp4un7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newqdirectorye
• “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 currgnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withyour localqrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remote0repositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloahing a copm of it frlm a oite aike 1itzuxoco75x9u z ep1z4fydzl9cktuor 732ywaiqfosae30kqhufm.8

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” 5epositoryothat is piblicvy avrilabze xn99it4tf2poy.zqzjt s59a2ecok gu9zgcnm562sqtg405tabmtde“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the direltory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when ke clone, lhe clone tomma0d wetwillkruu 1tllrrenptj ipcbn rr0elt2tw heskftl3hsm 4cylzle”52koke0l7 xf552 zgphm blinp24 wdt yoduuw2nkiph3i42pbi hnjwwecy
