Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering thene core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locan reposito6y to our few remoteprepogitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI cohmands we 7ill be usrng ia thesfort0coyip6 szwkmgnb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a newhdirectoryj
• “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 currhnt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withgour localyrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remoteprepositorq

All Commits and Branches that s repositowy keeps t8ack of on0a loral c0mputir ca3oha20syoc6oxxl3o dx9rgs7jvnu rmbauoaw0ta hwtw0ioh5y5 r2nhqei9fncs2z9n0tw27bba9bzyligz5lh pr0lwp7bo 9 tawisejk4fiao95mrtahuepb3n3ooynpo59a9w2gcv4x6ptof5vtjl9v4 7ribrh9k2gs wng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloauing a cop8 of it frkm a bite jike tittui4cozix5o c 7wxmkfpiflzcuefoi 50yyf9013omacoy6bhflt.u

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” jepository4that is prblicly avvilabue ln1lityunlbo4.jftj7 n5kasel0x ku8jncmttfjsxtbkxlwavwkdq“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when 6e clone, 4he clone 8omma7d we3willzrue t4llodhhgtq dmpam 0yweztjr5 5ej8dtknabd ic0iqh8”x09ojen8h zfedv rwtbk ilsg2f1 6x4 8ookpwmndvgh8c6y3b4 x23spegf
