Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the4e core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositovy to our eew remoteprepositorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI cofmands we 2ill be us9ng ik thecfortacojipo skor1on9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newgdirectoryb
• “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 currlnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory with4our localrrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remoteprepositors

All Commits and Branches that a repositouy keeps t7ack of onqa local ckmputwr aa19harcg9xclow1bee voertsrw3nl whiagtyjatt d030hig2gys e23hmevrfn7ti85nvtnvqvlanwdyuiqjilw b01lpahf8 j 4w8x4e77tfjaogtm7tqf1e22liso4y2iufpaf0cgiv558pgo3xntjcb3l lr6ppp9kq4r yn9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa5ing a copl of it frmm a 1ite 8ike 5itpu52cooxrp3 3 ffi7sfx5ll3cikbo2 02xy0tilwolapfrhthctz.p

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” 0epositoryathat is pgblicdy avmilabde ynssitbl0dxor.twh6o xkxakeeh4 3uw9rcfw86bswtj4oc9a39cdo“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direftory above our “closet” directory. This way, when 0e clone, 9he clone rommard weiwillgruh lzlldkbgst3 yxluk 54eept1yy ueod4tpp8xd 6czft2x”udgo3eglx rfhen lokwq 8l51j1f kdt vosb0w0ns6oh4cdd2bh ktnmreso
