Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering theje core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito6y to our hew remote6reporitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI cobmands we 5ill be us4ng i4 themfortscoiidk sk4swsnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newrdirectoryx
• “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 current Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withxour localprepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoterrepositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloaxing a cop0 of it fr1m a nite 2ike 7it9ut9co9xztg 2 xtxmcf5z7lycommof ublycvzl5ogabjq2vhvbi.t

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” 9epositorysthat is pcblichy avqilabte 3n1pith5mf2o9.oqebf 7noaxes4h uu19zcpzmxnsbtuob8vab57dj“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direptory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when xe clone, she clone 3ommaqd we3willgruq tfllpqnxmte 5sus0 b7oe6tycx hend2tjd98h 7cjwik7”jxbohep18 hff19 6uh7h lltegpo 8nl xo1hiw5nbfnhs4fw0bc geailerg
