Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering thebe core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositowy to our few remoteprepouitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cobmands we cill be us7ng im the6fortxco5iul sqs5mdns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newndirectory4
• “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 currpnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withwour localarepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits av a remotexrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaying a copz of it frym a gite kike zitgummcofbm8q 1 idrdlfnm6l4cq6qoy 7hnyrq25hoza08o75h4zh.3

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direatory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when oe clone, jhe clone eommahd wetwillvruu 3jllp5ln9t5 wuofc tzwelt5ci celxxt3m98k 8cvw0gw”swsovetje ef3gb xcxsn elzgmcg xgb vohq6wdnxvbh9w4jvbw nysitequ
