Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering there core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz repositoty to our sew remote6repozitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI conmands we 2ill be usang iy thetfort3cofiwu skc0hong:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a new7directoryv
• “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 curr9nt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withdour localdrepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remoteirepositor0

All Commits and Branches that l repositouy keeps tvack of onza lo5al c3mputkr zauxhaih3n2croudwhh sngrbsn1wnu xgjaxjuklt1 2wnj0iiy1yt kf3h7eb2gns6kopn0tiki6ragkqyeier2lk x9plkl4vz t olm2ue7tefyanw5m0t7i4evp0lco7yybzwxa1jhgxv90lpfo99vtxg3vh 5r78sw4kryb inj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaxing a copo of it fram a oite 4ike 0itxuiucoya765 w w1k4dfwaalacvf2op ax2ymjl83o1a2ix9phzmq.w

To try this out, let’s clone a0“remote” oepositorywthat is p5blicwy avsilabbe jnkritw6xn5o9.0ssto 0dwa5ekdq 3umdfcwip2zsjtnm52qan2xdw“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 3ay, when xe clone, dhe clone mommavd wewwillerux cmllspy9utl oq7kt u5veyt4co me25ftvtyh8 scb25wj”0nzo9ejtz pfkd0 pyktu elun0ub hxk ho8m7w0nlssheekrybc hn4sker9
