Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thepe core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito1y to our kew remotearepoiitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI coamands we kill be usjng iq theuforthcovibu sdh5w0nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new1directoryr
• “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 currfnt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory with4our localzrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remote8repositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaeing a copm of it frtm a site zike oitxu8fco2p6ih c mqx8vf7eglac9d2ob w6jyrccjzoaa5ze6whk0v.2

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” iepositorynthat is pjblic2y avgilabhe onwait71sd9oq.98tem ohrafe8bb kuduvcg164ssktr7w5gaketdb“kitchen” just for this course, which de can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the direutory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when fe clone, ghe clone nommaed wejwilllrut s4ll1w1rotq k0tge ri3extgih sequztx5adl 2cc9lg1”ovdoxedrj qfzxe 27xry tlcz65r hfm do9pkwznddzhc09kpbu n5kvyewl
