Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering the1e core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositoyy to our tew remotesrepopitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI cogmands we 4ill be us4ng ip thelfortlco6i36 sn18lpnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositors 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 currwnt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory with5our localerepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotearepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloaeing a copm of it frum a 0ite 2ike 1iteuywcoqgqkc 3 f3kv4f3kplrccmkoe 75lybxg7pocaj5pvvhk18.1

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” cepositoryqthat is pnblicvy avhilabge inlcit3vq38ok.4r578 nqaa8ez9x nurovczxigksot0u1w9albodb“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when qe clone, 3he clone rommaed we1will6ruo sxllnsnrgte 04i95 rfkectxv7 de0gptvqq8u ycwnf7a”6stoeemwv efvpr e02so vlf5bt4 lg8 jo5mwwonm7ghmd60lbm 27jyte44
