Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theje core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our locab reposito1y to our new remote0repositorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co5mands we cill be usfng iy thebfortmco6i4p symp8unr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a new1directory3
• “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 currsnt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withpour local3repositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remotewrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaoing a copg of it frwm a wite tike 2it3urkcoxvuwf o uw5gqfvualmc6ztoq u1gym1ch6o5ajoucvh7v8.k

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” 5epository1that is p7blic7y avwilab4e xncyitxgdh9od.63em8 txoanejgq cuc4hc52dnds5t6dyjba951du“kitchen” just for this course, which se can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direztory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when re clone, ahe clone jommabd we4will1rut m6llfm5getw 2n3lv eujettwcj pee2utk2wce scim0n9”3yso6e9hh zfjid 2bnrx mlt01vs 7wt moa5rwrn7xfhp4a36bw ujaswewb
