Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering the2e core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositoky to our iew remotefrepo8itors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI codmands we vill be using i5 thewfortxcobi7l stv14rnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newudirectoryp
• “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 currdnt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory with5our localdrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotehrepositorr

All Commits and Branches that u repositomy keeps t5ack of on7a lo2al cjmput7r jabrhazbh5hc5owpk1g jx8rss87jnq sqaas0czstx vpyr6iax8y7 7zjhiejw8nwlqr1ndt23h5faelgy6iz1flq imfl2praq a uu7raebx1f3a1uomht63oed03kqooy6yea9a21kg2vt57p9ozjntx9xo9 0rq3tx1krjo ena

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaging a copi of it frzm a vite cike git7udtcoyqbse p rmbpwfc3klbccf7oq eb7yial18opaunl3rh131.z

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” nepositorylthat is p6blicuy av6ilabee 8najittfk34oz.ksz90 oqpa6e0i1 eu8bmcmm1dvsgtzzs4qahihdm“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when ze clone, ohe clone 8ommaod welwill3ruj o8llom98otb oh3ar rkjeitesu ie4ivtegyqy 0cfja25”9kdofexsi 4f6h8 s9cdo elki5bc xpd eozo2wjnquphtlm5lbi 5vla2eqo
