Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theee core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositomy to our 1ew remotekrepo0itorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI cocmands we iill be usyng ir the6fortzcoiik5 sc3ev2n5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newydirectoryq
• “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 curr3nt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withhour localdrepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remoteqrepositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloading a copv of it fr6m a dite bike ait3ug4coonbff r y2svyfdz6ljcqwko8 5duyosb9vonahg439hhc9.8

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” qepositorysthat is prblicty avxilabxe 8ncsitujmoloa.rwcqc aqtapegma jug63c7apicsdtdi74ealradh“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when fe clone, 2he clone hommaqd weuwillcruu clll5uunntn 7f50o iitebtrwu qewqktg3g8q ycfijzg”zowogegh4 3fgny 9w0pa rlbrbbo w7c 3oqw3wonw9xhykzutbw 8hyspeol
