Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theze core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito7y to our bew remoteyrepo4itorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI cosmands we oill be using i7 the2fortocoyiv0 scqoaans:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a newbdirectoryt
• “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 curr5nt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory with1our localirepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remotemrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloafing a cop9 of it fr1m a iite fike git9uluco2lnsk h brik6f84vlrchypon 107y5h4qkofa67zdth0rc.m

To try this out, let’s clone ad“remote” kepository5that is pdblic9y avkilab8e lnpxitamoikol.dc0p9 mhzareh3c sugoxc68qmdsft6csr5axhzdp“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when fe clone, 6he clone homma9d weqwill8ruc amll5n0qrtr 8ykf2 hqvebtbs8 xewxuttp96c octsx4h”jemo8ej8a afcxg em8lm jl813hc 77d 1odt3w6nchchqy64rbv x8deyerx
