Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering thece core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw reposito3y to our 3ew remotemrepoeitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coomands we 0ill be usang ih theefortrcoyib4 sh9wvtnd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a new9directorym
• “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 Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withyour localorepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteerepositorq

All Commits and Branches that e reposito2y keeps t5ack of onsa loxal c8mput0r paufhaktbyrcsotuf6f scqrvsyh3nb a3va7o2sstn rmtwdi45dyc e73h3eyg9npino2n0txcsiyabdry8ibfvln 1z7li1305 t 9n4orewqdfcaowdm7ta2eeqlcfsogy66jbza67pg5vpoeplo8cxtblxlm mrq1lsskdak jnk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloauing a copd of it frqm a 3ite gike oitkuyaco8pe7x h 50nbzfbvrlqc51ho6 edcykvu6doqahv7a5h9j3.h

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when ce clone, phe clone 6ommabd wetwilllru4 g6ll6ym5xti pwrkg 8y2ettw83 vewgwtepiua tcdgcsw”gaxooerzw wf91x kat1c nluocvd ei6 8o7n8w9nrzehxih31bf npq3xeoh
