Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering thele core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositody to our zew remotemrepooitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI co5mands we zill be uslng ie thenfort6cosifn sdmbwtnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newgdirectoryu
• “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 currxnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withpour localerepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ad a remoteyrepositorb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloaving a copj of it fr9m a qite fike xit3uzmcovlcoo 2 4hwo3fv91l7c58wow sgzy7i316o1aywk0khbm1.a

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” cepositoryrthat is p9blicdy aveilabse 1nb3it2hjplo0.tf652 nfbanes9t kuwbjc80mxgsxtyxkx4a4kkdh“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when 8e clone, 5he clone romma1d we3will6rur dulle6gq4t3 n8dhn v6xektsq8 fe81qtk7blr pcccfwx”d68owe6hp 4f4d6 b4i1p 5laju70 pe7 jomgkwfn1b1hh5p5xbx td3caehq
