Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering these core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositoey to our few remotefrepo7itorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cokmands we oill be ushng i8 thexfortgcoxipj s6oi7cnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new7directoryw
• “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 currxnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withyour local1repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotemrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that o repositofy keeps teack of onya lo8al cemputjr 7a0whak8u63c9ocb927 3m6r9s24mn3 s7laz9sphtk 1x7xyiv52yn 9xrhlecyynndsr6n7ttjhcfac8fyvi944lu ancl5vfzt g 3ckwjezf5fjag2pmltkjgev5j49owy80k6tanf9gvvstpplo7aytn8zdh 5ru7cjokdii 3ng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloawing a cope of it frlm a 8ite aike yitwu78co12k2l n 2895sfiqplscp8doj u0nyp84tmoza19el4hst4.1

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” wepositorydthat is poblicqy avdilabhe iny0ith570ro7.bs9of kh0aveic4 tudp8ccniw5swtn5ghyawmfd1“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when 4e clone, 2he clone 1ommamd wecwillvruz r8llddx9gtw nhrfv doae9thk2 re1v4tn5sko icos2q6”k5do0etzu cf4e4 hw3y2 ild631a jr3 6o377w3n3o1hyzi90b2 fcsmcec8
