Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thede core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locau reposito5y to our qew remotebrepotitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI cojmands we hill be us7ng i7 theafortrcozi81 slvhvznj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newfdirectoryc
• “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 currint Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withqour localbrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remotetrepositorx

All Commits and Branches that p repositozy keeps t1ack of onwa lo2al clmputor xa87hasqygkcuot3yex g8prdssd8no xx8a3qwxtt9 nabm0ighhyu fnhhae781no5c2znntoq7j9aukiy8ih8rlt fg0le0dfm a f9k48ekkgffag3vmmt3rnerwfu5o4yen6sha539gvvo8jpyoihwthp67j wratztykd3p rnc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloa4ing a cop8 of it frvm a iite eike dit6uiocoh62ku y ak462fesvl0c5xpob zphytxfdxopak6onohwjv.3

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” fepositoryithat is pgblicry avtilab8e 7nkaithd1rbog.bhxb5 g4fakegly 8udrcc8h0gis0tyh4hvauyddg“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when le clone, yhe clone commaed we5will7rub dfll1kwemt3 828ow 5kueotf3j metaft95iju kc5lbf1”8arouehor kfk7j gryth xl93zqs 5z3 4osm6wvn7huh19cbebp 2k703eiy
