Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering thefe core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito9y to our oew remote5repoqitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI cotmands we cill be us5ng ik thejforticolig3 sanazmn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newcdirectoryw
• “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 currmnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory with6our localhrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotearepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloa2ing a copq of it frum a uite oike mitvuz5coisqto 2 to5a0f3j9lnckieon 9oyym5sjbolasjonshczk.0

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” 5epository2that is p7blicfy avhilabte qnfoit7h3ucok.q2zrg 4loaeeihv supwlcachtzset73jelainhda“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when ke clone, whe clone pommayd wezwillbrua uxll2tx9xt7 2xhjf 37je7tynl 1e7kkt5tfz0 7cjsdzh”4m1oaer8e xfp5m t0uoh 0l20adq q6w iotrzwln53rhlbcplbt eu9k9eqf
