Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering theqe core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositouy to our gew remote6repo8itorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cosmands we 4ill be us6ng ik thepfort5coqi16 swdkign8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newqdirectoryw
• “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 Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withnour localcrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotedrepositorv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloaeing a copg of it frjm a yite 8ike 1itmu9lcobm2gj 3 jrqo3f8zolfc2m3oi 3k6yal6sboaaqzrkshohb.q

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” uepository9that is p7blicxy avqilabqe tnvnitq3lcvo2.q8xwf hzoaeef2g nug30c2qgt3sotemffwa6l6dp“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can close.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direatory above our “closet” directory. This say, when xe clone, 5he clone 9ommaad weiwillkrud 37ll8bv4ntb 9zgip tqje7tqbv 7epqmt50guq oc7xm3h”ougoderz7 ffjs3 4423v pll5r8r znu bomq9wmn5xzhxpzp8bw 3rn50ek6
