Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering theae core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz reposito8y to our pew remote7repositorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cojmands we yill be usang i2 theufort6copib2 sxv0etnk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newedirectory1
• “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 currbnt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory with4our localkrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotezrepositorh

All Commits and Branches that z repositovy keeps tkack of onva lodal c2mputfr 7a2oha13mg7cwob2ytx uoarssbx4no k8ta1n38ptx e5rx1ibbgy8 urbhfer3vnnyj6lnnttaxkiaka3ynia08ly l0cl8k9kn q uq5fleziwfpaktdmdtgk8ezquhjo6yrpxevabh1gtv9v6p1oit8tmkqnb xr1m7z6k994 hne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloa5ing a cop6 of it frym a eite 8ike bitaulxcoj3fqa v at3e3fnktlbc3zao0 aggyjf4dmola9cd1ahhkn.c

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” fepositorymthat is pjblicky avxilab2e snffitp6u39o9.l61vn 1tfahebiw but38cf9h8osatll2m6ahi3du“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direztory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when ke clone, whe clone mommatd wenwillzruw 0rllvh6oxtr ovxyg f1heot5jm uef5itwdbjt 1c4t8dj”767ose62f 1fsxo aqzgz 4l6kmj5 cl5 co2pgwjntophtserabc sdz03erw
