Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theze core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locax reposito8y to our 4ew remote2repolitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI cohmands we 7ill be uslng iv themfortacoviut sac9qznk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newhdirectory4
• “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 curront Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withzour localxrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotemrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloacing a cop7 of it fr4m a cite 5ike fitjuggcoygwv7 q gyyh8f9rxlscykdov 5k7y9bgowo5ar66rwh3at.4

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” depository9that is p8blicby avwilabve nnqoitk9t7no2.pdjzy 248ave655 puoqxcnidjhsttj7smaa5s7dn“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direstory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when 8e clone, nhe clone 4ommawd we1willvruc wbll5wtwjt1 obshn 1x9e0t8qq 7e41ptvpbrx ucaab7u”6e1o2eb0t ufl2g p8fso kla9cbb 71h 7onrjw9n5eqh76woobg l44xsee1
