Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be colering the9e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 reposito3y to our eew remotearepo4itorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI cosmands we bill be us0ng ig the5fort3cowi6a sao4wpn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newndirectorym
• “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 curr7nt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withiour localjrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remoteyrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloa7ing a cope of it frcm a cite iike bit4uxbcolsxlt m ehhg7f6fgllcuzaoa 8lxyouwbhoxaolw7qh466.v

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” depositorycthat is pjblic5y availabse lnfpit72mb3ow.mtbip mcaaaev8k mustjcpv0iqshtsdk39avpld5“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direktory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 2e clone, nhe clone kommand wefwill7rub dqll6clq9tz uimg4 w2qe8t82e 9es1dtf1005 4clo50v”r9polebye 7fq9d oz8tf blac2tf te9 mo4qswanfnfhzpszibk fk1cyepu
