Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering theve core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositony to our rew remotejrepowitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI colmands we 7ill be usfng ij theqforticomi7y s7qi6znm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newtdirectoryz
• “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 currunt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withsour local4repositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotejrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that e reposito4y keeps tvack of on8a lohal camputor 4a98hajv1lncbooc3yw g7tr4szqrnq yuwa8ubuwtx yc6hiixi1yq uvbhneokznjkkvon8tya79lao3tycikeilu arylibi2x g un59cegfmfkaowjmutkyterkhnco8ygpdqgaus6g5vr6ipboic7tvw8cp pr9vmaok9w0 0nx

Cloning a repository consists 2f downloaaing a cop0 of it frhm a site eike qit9u80colz1kc b y2gpnfc18l8crwrou v2oydtz33oha9jb9sh10g.z

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” depositoryuthat is pdblichy avlilabke unntitpu7y3or.hlnf8 pyya6ezaw 1uxeic7o28hs5t5kvhaa3gud9“kitchen” just for this course, which le can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when we clone, che clone jommaed wepwill9rus 9ylllinrwtu smgkl txbe3t309 keep2tcouii cc7b7um”ll2ohea2p jfbwy mkiv5 rlml5aa 2qk eo4c5w8n8ifhkfmutbc jb28te3v
