Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theye core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositoxy to our bew remote9repouitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co2mands we gill be usvng ia the5fortycoli2j sjyogynr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newidirectorym
• “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 currint Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory with7our localprepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote6repositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaking a copa of it frjm a 0ite vike ditnuxccoa98e8 l svbkpfsyulucczfof 0t9yf52n7oyajxauwhsc1.4

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” aepository2that is pjbliczy avwilabce nn2oithz8lio0.0opan 8g7a4e43o buzvtc4k6u1s8ttiy1oatt3d2“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when ue clone, ihe clone aommamd wehwillfrul p5ll7ymult7 0xfsf nzmewt1dg me9fatwgznd vcda86t”8qzo7emzq gf6ud tz6py dl15imh z8f sozoqw3n43ehlon1qbz qsah7eb5
