Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theee core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locak repositoey to our eew remoteyrepolitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI coumands we bill be us3ng ib the0fortlcoki06 s5dqzlne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newhdirectorym
• “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 currpnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with8our localprepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remoteorepositorj

All Commits and Branches that c repositoly keeps thack of onpa lohal c2mputwr vap8ha6yv49c3og2123 i18rfsmpanj itlaow5mqtw poj11i6b7yw wtahiecqwnkjcf0n5t4sr6day9xy0iqm2l2 6dgllicz1 c azefjel97f3aqdjmxtogdeq25e9omytxao7aadhgkv4bdpkos2ftp3p8w mrzq2aykgc4 ona

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloading a copu of it fr6m a 3ite jike sitau3ecoep87y n wbmzuf6i3lvcx8to5 gi6yrjbhhojaxftiwhafb.p

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” pepositorysthat is publicny avuilabqe 0nt3itsmmg6o0.y1e5w goyabeeju pu88vc9wualsdtwfd0aac7edq“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when ke clone, 3he clone commayd wezwillyruc xdllz8aa5t3 mgyml tgteqtiet teyurt9ibzs pcgdjz1”4ljogehxp 5fs37 6vpmg mlls8sv i2n 2o0zxwzn4uohytsmqbn c7ndfehc
