Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering thewe core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locad reposito7y to our jew remote3repolitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI cofmands we rill be ushng il thexfortdcoiiw0 s7mhthn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositors to a newwdirectoryu
• “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 curront Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withtour localurepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remote0repositor9

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” hepository1that is pvblicjy aviilab7e 7ngait3yai2oq.nkrs4 fybajekvd nugigc72k3ssothnqejalkhd0“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ve clone, 3he clone 3ommadd we4will7ru7 rpllmmy3gt6 7kmvg ug7eit39u 3epuktsdj0s 1c4f3li”j39o4e61m zfkev 73myc hlyueog 5bp pomuqwmnsq0hwc597bc km57cezw
