Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering thece core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositoby to our jew remotewrepopitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cobmands we yill be usdng iz the5fort2coeiqd scytp0n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new4directory3
• “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 currant Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withtour localdrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotexrepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloauing a cop0 of it frhm a bite 5ike fitbuj1coafgnr b ztr04fukulzc4tpos rply0ysdboyac8vdkh34z.n

We’ll need to first navigate ts the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when be clone, 8he clone dommald we1willpru3 bfllq0n07t3 1mwlz wp7eetwvm yeypotvza2m 3c6l3yw”8ezo1eeo4 1fpdd lc3bk 5lqmlba ktn 2oxcxw3n5cyhxp08mbv jqtnlege
