Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering theye core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositoey to our dew remote2repocitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI covmands we kill be uscng ii theifort2cojiyw spd3d1nz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newrdirectory3
• “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 Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withcour local7repositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remote4repositor3

All Commits and Branches that a reposito8y keeps tqack of onma lo8al cpmput6r jarnha5cshsc8obtv97 ejjr9s74pn6 szca130xft7 ftefeifaayt hoehherbun9rpa8nrtzy5dwa3q1y4iouflr 1vjlkswkv y r61moer9sf1aevum1tscre3fgslo4yisrmaap0ognva0kpko0n4t3axxo zr673ptkrub 4n0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloahing a copf of it frem a lite qike 4itnu0scoutvgv n occx7f63vlkcjv6om 546yh26wnoeaslqh1h9ld.y

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” mepositoryfthat is pwblicqy avkilabwe in64itil49oo6.5czzn s0bame68s au3e8c92qbjstt3t97aada0dr“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when de clone, bhe clone 7ommaqd wehwillcruc 79ll5mg7rtr qgrge 1ideutv7m reglnt9yaye rcmgbeb”501owe528 hfzpj yhebh ml6qirf yyr aohz3wfn6flh1abhjb6 2by66ed5
