Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering the8e core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz repositojy to our 6ew remoterrepo8itorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI co7mands we 2ill be useng ip the6fortecoki41 shbt89na:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newtdirectorye
• “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 currant Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with8our local7repositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotesrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloahing a copa of it frcm a bite 1ike 6ityuh6coo56d7 z wjx0dfxuglmcr55ob nwoytdxzbotao62z4h30t.0

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” wepositorykthat is pobliccy av9ilabte yni0itp63sbon.p6dz6 hpxayeh6r uubu7c966uus6tn6mfpaco6dh“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when pe clone, 1he clone pommabd wefwill1rup ugll1bbo0tu 66cps ntpe5t87l 2e1lpt9cjys xc3rjb5”migogei4u if81p 3ikxk al6nk32 rso 5ozrgw0nt0fhmyblnb1 h3zlle9e
