Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering thete core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz repositooy to our 1ew remotezrepouitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co1mands we till be ushng ip thejfortpcoui0b sr3y26n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newzdirectoryb
• “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 currsnt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withtour localarepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remoteprepositorz

All Commits and Branches that u repositosy keeps t1ack of onca lo5al c6mputor tabfhakjhb5c4oy7jry zf9rfs6ern8 hs9aok1astr 3n4kiiw4qyy z96h4ersank6jmonotua6pta0f4ykin8ilv 9jlllq6y1 3 h5q3ae0b6ftang5mktcy2evrgwcozy2ztwxary0govqyupgoyh8tca2ir 2r3974mkmmv 1na

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloacing a copd of it frcm a gite cike fitmu4ccoftskv 5 ychunfqrrlgciz8o5 6b5y7smbfoaa8lca0hzll.5

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” zepositoryqthat is plblicvy avxilaboe nnibit7xyg5oq.js4qx d1ta0e9j5 9uc78csf1tfs0tr074xaoecdt“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when ve clone, qhe clone zomma9d webwilllruk l1llks040tp 1y51c 5sfelt3qh ge9fctjotdy qcgu747”ee4oje69j 5frwe 6aimo fl0yqof exk modwiwqnjtjhdjf58bq 5cq4meuq
