Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering thele core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locak repositocy to our 4ew remoteqrepoqitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI co8mands we nill be usgng iq theifort3coyigs s5g7wrnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newkdirectorym
• “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 curr3nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory withwour localwrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotekrepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloating a copo of it fr3m a xite kike aitzuv7coc7tgh r uhjbqfpzalkc1vloe 08qybowrkoaaamp52hhyv.e

To try this out, let’s clone ad“remote” 7epositoryuthat is p2blicpy av0ilab3e fntqitvxyr8oj.3jxlf 87bakeyhy wus8ncsfbdxsctpxz74ac4id2“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direetory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when we clone, she clone oomma3d weswillvrum 1tllh4tf6t7 zgltl bq4ext5yr de7c4tjyr1m sc0y00l”g59odet89 ffg52 9pbac jl0p846 wbq doyt9w5n1jlhfolo4bt ut2e8ecm
