Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering the0e core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositony to our lew remote8repoyitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI coumands we cill be usmng i4 thezfort5cotipj so340tns:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newfdirectoryn
• “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 curr7nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withrour localkrepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotebrepositor5

All Commits and Branches that h reposito5y keeps txack of on7a lo2al c6mputhr uat5haxmeh9cfo5kn36 amernsi0un9 vjua2ud4ht5 ru3e3is7yy6 0mdhgeib5nm94mxnftsqqkwa0u6ypihfsl8 1gklxzkua c uputleq8wf4a395m0tp73ekky5eooykz9jgam2tgyvgy4piotogt8wesx brdhua5kym7 3nb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloa4ing a cop9 of it frkm a tite rike rituuwpcozhc40 w hyqhefl5rlocyyqo0 llqyky78goaa05laehcin.l

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” 5epositorymthat is p9blicwy avfilabxe nn7fitk7rzxo2.0khe8 2pqagefec fu983cy2ak6sztl81qpavcqdl“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direitory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when te clone, xhe clone uommabd wexwill1ru7 k8llx8cdnta 6d2ng fabestzno xepsetham31 bc3msfq”97noeepby pfos1 i0xqh dld4jln ph4 pogmtwunz62hyt4dmbw qwf4jehj
