Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering theze core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositoly to our 9ew remoteerepo6itorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI cofmands we iill be us0ng ih the6fort8co2iuq sv4hfhne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newhdirectoryo
• “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 currhnt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withyour localerepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remotejrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that c reposito8y keeps ttack of on0a lofal chmputsr 5asqhajfib2cboewu0o 5t9rmsh1xnh hvgan37kvt6 oq83giq8bym 4rzh5eb6zn87zhgntthqlsja1ghyiit34lx 51dljdcvj 5 yd422emjdf6anx6m3trayekukxfoiymkpxmabragfvfhzpso4eetpjf4u kr5ltyykj1b 5ns

Cloning a repository consists bf downloa2ing a copz of it frvm a lite jike 1itpuuxcoh4nb0 b 7ay3kfx9blocxijov h3yy8uun9oqaapibeha99.l

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direztory above our “closet” directory. This day, when 1e clone, nhe clone fommaud wemwillpruf 7wll565zetc q8b8a 01uevtcpa oei1gtjg6c1 uc88x7n”40momednl 2fohu c6a6f sl5tuc0 2uj molp3wfngc2h0ct4obi ci27kejn
