Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theie core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repository to our 3ew remotebrepovitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI coomands we hill be usxng ix thexfortocohik9 ssip5nnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newudirectoryo
• “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 currcnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withbour localxrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotezrepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloabing a copw of it frrm a 1ite bike 2itfuwocoup06l g ojzc1f18ql9cz65o8 f9cys8rp9o7agjfvhhjer.8

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” vepositoryhthat is pzblicly av4ilab7e bnrcitqjan9ox.5fc95 nqhaxel86 ruy2ecoz1u2sitzjfiqawy4dd“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direytory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when ae clone, fhe clone aommatd we1will7ruj 1fll5ixd0tr xjavw j6cezt5ql 8e0fpt3lmgf mcw6ua6”ivaoue52g 6fs0b mlq96 ylof78i 6o0 xoe03wynwerh334geb6 47lioejh
