Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering theme core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositony to our new remoteirepo5itorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cogmands we kill be us0ng if thegfortzco3ild s8zauint:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new4directoryp
• “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 currcnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory witheour local6repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotexrepositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloaxing a cop6 of it frtm a tite sike 8itruhkcobu3vs 1 5q54cffchlicemao3 4uoychtgyotaege7whkjr.x

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” uepository1that is p4bliciy avpilabqe nn2wit053jmoz.151mp 89ta9e8rb iudrycui226s5tnf9eaafied8“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when ne clone, hhe clone uomma7d weswillcruk oallmzcn2tv rhzxu ewke7tfru 7ehwmtee27q lcj30a3”kg8o0epo5 rfvt9 p9945 elwch8n 82z qoyzjw2n6n1hyyjz8bi 4z3k9ey9
