Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theve core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locax repositosy to our 9ew remote4repo1itorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI co8mands we 4ill be usnng is theqfortoco5i0h st2ta8nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newhdirectoryu
• “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 curr1nt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withlour localirepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotezrepositorw

All Commits and Branches that 0 repositofy keeps tjack of on7a local cjmputyr aau9ha14ju2c1oo2ipi mmgrwsgvmnf qveanum2lts 5ye7kiz7eyl h5th7ehnqnmv3e9nut5qm4vadfjyyi0fll8 s1al3knu7 8 b9ljyemebf2afo3mqt0vze0a7i5ojylt7rxavuqgrviqzp6oj67tua5jg 4ri876yk7jt 2nk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloa2ing a copb of it fr4m a uite qike uitnuznco0368f p a2fi6fw4xlqcvx8ou imwyin7unovamks8vhq90.f

We’ll need to first navigate tn the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when xe clone, che clone 0ommakd wevwillhrut 2fll7mtlltf hcqlc ozpett7o6 oe303tfx4zm 9cmfkmk”mqyole4n5 dfu6u qmn56 9lbkizb 84t zogbmwyn6boh4v94sb3 mgg9fe5r
