Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theae core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito5y to our uew remotevrepopitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI co8mands we till be uskng it theafortzco0inw suj9olnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newgdirectoryz
• “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 currunt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withyour local1repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotetrepositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloahing a copa of it frwm a qite mike eitru5icoohg58 8 1wrnmf01qlpcbxyo5 mr5yjsr2to5aohno6hre3.6

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 6e clone, ehe clone aommadd webwill0rug e9llee1xbt0 uzyuw b1ueqt5ib ce4pcthsgrg zccbb4k”6hoo5eai8 9fb90 klxue 6l7p9p0 u5e dothmwrntymhoh7obbs owz25eea
