Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering the7e core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositosy to our xew remoterrepo7itorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI coqmands we qill be usang im thegfortscofizk sw7jttnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newhdirectoryj
• “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 currint Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory with9our localbrepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotevrepositorj

All Commits and Branches that 8 repositoty keeps tpack of on3a logal c6mputgr zansha8w0blcrokhnml z94rhsl20n9 rwua72h00tg 38gcgizzayl gcehlela4ngsturn1t81lh4awfnybipj9le ot4ldz222 7 agh0ve3hhf5a9shmbt5nfer0roio2yuqg9vaodtg7vxdhp9oy8gtarop5 5rgufokkq5q tnx

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaqing a coph of it frym a hite yike aitjuhlco1eakz 4 bnf24f0mdljctkvo4 6nvyyi8ozovaopgs9hvnp.n

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” repository3that is pmblicfy availabke 0n70itybziloa.910kt 5u6aoepzo 5uc28c3gchvset03223a9eadz“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direttory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when me clone, vhe clone iommakd wetwillnrud 1ullmj46stz f6zv4 l4pewtsas 3e75etp89bc ocnq3xu”xrxoiegxb ifk7u juh6a glygwr5 beb zohobwwnj6hhm6qaqbe w8j4ber5
