Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering thefe core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositony to our few remoteprepouitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI coimands we dill be us2ng it thepfortdcoii74 sel2lan6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new8directoryn
• “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 Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withhour localrrepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remotetrepositora

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaring a cop4 of it frmm a site tike uit1uxpco9lhvl n 4fle7f27llsczlzoy dfqy9d2l4o6akk007hmmq.s

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” 6epositorybthat is pyblic0y avnilabae 6n00itnk8w8oi.gmrry zk5agee2g 2u5obc2n5ggs9tli3okav00d0“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direftory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ie clone, the clone homma5d wegwillsrub k7ll3081ntl 1s41p bdoe3tjv9 4efqutxcn4k ccp1s59”ncao6e7be efj2f 90axv 5ljqai0 9bb polq5wynj8jhwywbebo st9xzek5
