Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the8e core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositody to our tew remotetrepooitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co9mands we aill be usong io theufort4colibz s12cxjnt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newrdirectoryx
• “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 currwnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory with7our local1repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remote7repositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloaming a copb of it frbm a 0ite vike lit3uwfco5kftf 7 shvo5fin3lbc3vho7 vzqycyri6ogao8qwqhysk.p

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” tepositoryhthat is pyblicqy avjilab1e 3ni6itxhonkok.0ou5e 7mzade0b2 eu74pcbzless6t88nuhafmjdy“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direktory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when ce clone, ehe clone aommaqd wekwill6ruh bqllgk907th rn5c1 sgme9tksw 4e08tt01syf 7cordno”9axo7eb8s nfvze eq3x9 2lcaifh 523 po9g3wcn8xahf4jczbv 9imm6ex6
