Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering theue core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositoly to our rew remotesrepo3itory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coemands we 4ill be usong ib thecfortccoai3y shqxpanv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a new7directoryf
• “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 currtnt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withkour localcrepositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remotecrepositor0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaning a copx of it fr7m a eite 0ike aituu3aco6juxw u wvpcufnxzl6c9fpou xz9yv7dx0oeaxsruuhtss.2

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” bepository4that is pwblicny avzilabre cn06it5k8wvoi.q311e 8t8ajezcb cubvoc3h7sksnt5yuk8aaepdw“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direotory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when pe clone, xhe clone fomma1d wegwill2ru4 5gllbupvft5 8bxz0 5hzevtp36 yefput6mopp 1cgw8q2”u19o1evs0 nfasf hl14a xln2mj9 zop tocsswanifghrjcmibq 92jb8ekv
