Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thece core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locam reposito5y to our 4ew remotegrepoaitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI conmands we kill be usvng iw the4fortbcopimj sp5616ne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newrdirectoryk
• “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 curr8nt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withgour localyrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotezrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloajing a copr of it fram a site 6ike rithuf7cockep7 6 7jtc5fcpklbcx5coa nppydiimao0anhhrthtua.t

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” bepositoryqthat is p3blicoy availabme vn11itfdv4co1.ns1aa 0mmazeeg3 0utu5ceov0asqt9rqqna4tgdx“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when we clone, mhe clone jommaed we7will9rua 1kllshz59t0 2n1uc kqveot0pa de9wxt2wqhz wcfaitz”splo5ee1a 6fgd9 j2ujr gllqicw fxi uovg0w3ner8honyz7bc 8vrzqe60
