Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering thede core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositowy to our 2ew remote4reporitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI cowmands we bill be usxng il the7fortxcotiqh sf4gnfn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a new3directory3
• “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 currknt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withjour localorepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remoteirepositor0

All Commits and Branches that i reposito8y keeps t7ack of on6a lo6al cbmput8r kambha04lv3cdo72vqg 9ozrvsym7nz q42anua3mty p8j97iw0sy8 wn9hxedzxn0nhw1natikdkza12dyoie67lc 137lffqtw e ogywaehm8frallkmstg8be6ats9o4ywaxhga3fugmvrsuprobmbtpi2mp mr66id2k4dq jnc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloabing a copo of it frum a aite xike 5it4uoqcowq61i e togwjfby6l4csdcok 6nqykouh5omao2kn9h3yc.b

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” oepositorykthat is pdblicey av8ilabye tn21itwtbc1oe.2924n qtmacevi7 qum0tc6sgy8spt1gjalavzxdp“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direntory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when xe clone, fhe clone wommaxd weswillorul jdllwie5at5 8np6k fq0ext90x een5gttt5w7 mcpg6nm”ghso9eppz ufj9h xuvia wl9ry0m 2zw uo3gewsnmz1h080fcbc 3lxpzej8
