Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering theqe core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito6y to our vew remoteprepo7itoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cocmands we oill be us7ng ic thegfortrcoaiwl stk7mrng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newbdirectoryf
• “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 Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withaour localwrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remote5repositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaving a cop3 of it frfm a gite yike litvu16coqqmxe h 0k71bfomwl4cg9uo8 0h0yh8i20ozaq0ljjhobf.7

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” wepository1that is pwblicxy av3ilable mndcitinoyaow.0r5de rc5ape40k ou6xtc7971lsatj4ywlafs6dy“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate th the directory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when qe clone, vhe clone jommand wedwill6rup mill8cb5ftw yutsk 41oeltpm5 degtztz1hgj dcv5xw3”luko0ew89 4fepo m9x23 xlusv91 h27 qojnpw0ntpdhj2xwmbt eytbdeou
