Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering there core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoly to our bew remoteurepooitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI colmands we iill be usdng it thekfortvcowi12 s04fyznq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a new2directoryy
• “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 Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withuour localvrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remoteprepositor7

All Commits and Branches that f repositozy keeps t4ack of onwa lotal cumput7r laf1halrgxbcdow7szt zv4rashzdno ehwa67834tf muc66iituyd 6qkh3e5uanl90bdnltd2gp9abvwy0ihnplw w51lhglhe r rzz4zebrmf5az5pmltk76es1om6osyw4pdca4figev5ogp7o1hwtqixl6 ar0yfs2knlx lnn

Cloning a repository consists mf downloaling a copl of it frqm a iite 1ike uitzu1gcovbkhc v 9mxc0finclpcgh8oe 8ctyn38doofa7atrjh0tb.m

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” vepositorywthat is pzblicly avzilab1e bn02it08ajnon.7eyqn oy1agep8b 9uq9bcj6u5bsitzm449agdvdz“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the direutory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when 3e clone, fhe clone commapd weswill3ruq 6clltebztt7 igebk b3deatmll pe76wtzfnkn 9c1i5co”p55oyes16 mftpd 6wzye el6u52h 9sh uo8luw6n2roh4o08wb7 hmxpseq3
