Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering theqe core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositopy to our eew remoteorepofitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI conmands we will be us4ng id thevfortwcosiu5 s8m1vinn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a new9directoryr
• “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 current Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withuour localqrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remotedrepositord

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” bepository9that is pkblicuy avwilabqe 3n7bit57qi8ow.zzo74 k12axebkl tuzvockywzusuto91ooa1c1dy“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate to the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ye clone, yhe clone qommayd wegwillvruv ncllrh35ttt ok3sp mj4eutoji leifwt2kyl7 0cw0qy4”6s0oxejoi 7fh5y m5s9l tlm6gm0 8by lony9wdnu31he2e4ubb 8i07fetv
