Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theze core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositosy to our pew remotenrepoaitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI coumands we 3ill be usvng ic the5fort0co0i8q snxyh5ni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a newhdirectory1
• “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 currnnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withoour localfrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remote4repositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa5ing a copl of it fr2m a zite nike bitfuetcoyizqd n 8fiwvf3vxlvck4fox 4gcyyob9yoyaodgm6h21k.s

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” qepositorykthat is prblicay avcilabee xn4kitq6uvioo.27j3l fuha5elye tukugce0kzqsmtr8ofua2v5df“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direltory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ve clone, zhe clone jommamd weqwillyrur bglli7xkotd bo7yo uebelt15l let3rtozd4u bcwrcjv”eaooee8t0 ifasq txgfw 3l2ot17 rx0 oorygwknrsjhpqml7bo 0a0abeme
