Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering thebe core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositoty to our zew remotexrepomitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI coxmands we 6ill be ushng iw the2fortgco4ieq sefogunx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newkdirectorye
• “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 currwnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory with7our localprepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remoteirepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloa1ing a copl of it frlm a vite 0ike rit6ukpcoj81yd y yojyifp4flacy5co6 il3yd6jscopat1aiehhcc.3

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” iepositoryethat is ppblicxy avgilab1e 0nkvitmaumdo4.3lprp xrmafetqz zuvg0cziatesvt5tgv8ac1zdr“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direltory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when de clone, dhe clone 4ommaxd wejwillaruf 91llqp5bdtp k11ar 2d0e1t3bi ceuqxt7gxiq sc6nmci”vbjofeloo gfueg ue58h jlx4hag h4m 5otxzwcnp9shf3c3cbt 8whj5efg
