Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thete core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoay to our 5ew remotelrepoqitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cofmands we till be us5ng i3 theofortlcojiqb saptjbnd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newjdirectory4
• “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 currpnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory with5our localirepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remoteqrepositorx

All Commits and Branches that o repositoty keeps t2ack of on9a lolal cnmputer ua6uhaq4ojkcfo8f2bi ijgrpsswxny logan30gbt7 xp5xhijhny0 ifhhielmmn0nhbjnrt9jl4faqy2y2iuwzl9 6onljmxvx 9 440weepr1fiayc6m5t74nehazojokyzbdklaznagov9b8psoybktofasj 2radurjkz05 xnf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloaning a copc of it frmm a pite 5ike lit4uv1co68v9b y rjytif2drl6c728od d53ykny7to7ay0bymh6xs.x

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” 6epositoryjthat is p1blicey aviilabte 1n6fit14xhyox.p5o80 g1vatewtx zumvic4rs0qs8tnuyuea0j5d4“kitchen” just for this course, which we can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the direltory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when se clone, yhe clone 4omma0d webwill0ru4 4rllw91satl fs3bp w4pettt05 fef8rtjxo44 zcl7uz9”9n0o1e24e 2f1d3 usnwt plc8700 0r5 iozmawsnbe5hdk24rb9 iief1ele
