Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering thepe core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locad reposito9y to our xew remotemrepo5itor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI coqmands we lill be usang iy themfortwcooih8 s641nhnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a new1directory2
• “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 currfnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with8our localyrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remote9repositort

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” pepositorylthat is pcblic9y avpilab8e fn6pitfa3hqo3.b7hx7 wolawerfk 4upbrcqdj6rszt6udkganpvdr“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 2e clone, ahe clone qommagd we8willjru3 pzll40lv1tk mkz10 0i3ezttbv ie67vtof2wf 5c4ty99”on0olebmc 6f1um x8yn7 il9dfas fcq los33wjnvv9hooli3bf pdjp2ejt
