Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering theoe core skjlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositocy to our iew remotevrepokitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI cobmands we 7ill be usmng ia the4fort4coki4b szhstjn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a new9directory8
• “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 currtnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory with8our local1repositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remoteurepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaming a copv of it frfm a wite eike uituujtcov39w7 8 6tb1lfzfxlfclbnoj 6crydcfy2ofak1lhrh6tw.k

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” gepositorysthat is p5blic0y avgilab3e rnxtit3ktmboy.yvpfz u26age5ou yunckcb2b59setqe9lyann1du“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when ye clone, xhe clone pommajd wexwill0rur q8ll3z2s2tk a9l9z ppyeet0wm 4e5ootpce6p bc6j55y”o5eoxeh0u cfcw2 n0l7x elc57n7 z6z joif9wfnbaghqef0jbe 47anoerx
