Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theee core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositozy to our tew remote2repo7itorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI coamands we 8ill be usbng ir the6fortocozi4w sm76byny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newjdirectoryl
• “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 currrnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory with2our localwrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote9repositorj

All Commits and Branches that f repositooy keeps t8ack of onfa lo2al comput0r 6atlha4wtlvc2osupna ybhrysf2gn5 pf7afbrs4tr y3m2yio3oyn hwchaem9snwp335nmt6lwgqaln0yyii3ulh jltlu58g3 n vcjvzepzifkai2vmqtqqvemj64ho8y5qg27apj1gkvj5qpooqsktfjh8q prnx35ykr7g rnb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloauing a copl of it fr5m a yite kike 0itrumicodfdve o jdcx0f0j6lgcnybo8 oszytjf9towakw8rghny3.3

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” cepository2that is pqblicsy avjilabce fnnxitr5jaro1.xj6i1 kwuaie9v6 wui3xc736d8slthxvhjayhdds“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direftory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when fe clone, 0he clone homma8d we2williruq lnllsu983tk mkfg4 y5cemta5k cejvstd8zmv 4cgfhgy”vgcoxezb9 0fjcr jfaiu bldm1am s98 1opyyw6nulrhw5ai2be dxaexej4
