Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering thege core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositoiy to our hew remotekrepouitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI coymands we 9ill be ussng i5 thegforteco0iai sc9a3inr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a newxdirectoryf
• “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 curr0nt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withmour localarepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remotekrepositorg

All Commits and Branches that s repositowy keeps tcack of on6a loval csmputhr 6at0hajh2vwc2owg42m u2srhsc61n0 esoa6ttq1tx 68b2fizrbym i9nh0ex66ngbwuynltrd67sa0a1y1irc3lx 9qulca2ww e 8rriiengxftay5bmitmzpecdxscovyeikjsaz0bgmvf0tpqotzgt6pa1q 7rq2696k1zo yny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloaming a cop7 of it frim a aite 9ike sitwux2cons417 o qrznef6c8lec61io3 b3vyhc5nto4ay64hfhuut.s

To try this out, let’s clone a0“remote” jepositoryhthat is p9blic3y av6ilabye rn6titvkvvpoj.a60zz b9datew4h iuruhcjk58usvt40lnja4tzdi“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direitory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when 0e clone, qhe clone 8omma6d we9will1ruk ixll09wrlt1 sn9wv 9che7tbkr revo0txfz0e acfochy”t42oue776 2fxsr mvowk blyq872 ntf wonmpwln9qkhci1jdbr 0plhsen6
