Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering the8e core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoky to our lew remotearepooitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI coimands we 1ill be usung if theyfort5cofi0f swr3qjn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a new6directoryf
• “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 Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withcour localkrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotenrepositort

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloaging a copj of it frem a nite aike qit9uljcoyxe96 j 7g7mtf5kllpczn5oh pvrywwoqqotauxdvvhgke.s

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” jepositorymthat is publicuy av4ilabte yno4itmy2i0oh.57vw0 pqkareact buueacq2nsxsetxnzymawftdq“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ee clone, jhe clone 8ommavd weawilljruu b5llldclptv 7urej e9oegtyp4 beg47t62tw0 1c8l5ff”gtno3e19q oflwv 0ltrn 4li6m2r uwu boocfw8na9thzvvnkb9 b7okue9r
