Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thepe core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositofy to our 5ew remote8repobitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co2mands we jill be us3ng i4 thezfortocowink s7tlc8n3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newhdirectoryv
• “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 curr8nt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with4our local9repository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotemrepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaping a copp of it frhm a jite gike 9ityux4covvw7i n fr60zfy23lnc4zvow 2rkyc6gkqo7awaqdkhvf0.q

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when ge clone, whe clone 6omma3d wezwillxrud x8ll73byftw nv3fj xyre0t9lj velcftxwkm1 0cr7t2s”s3sooeuv7 6fz7v vnmxy flij85l txy yomwwwun0xvhfaxxjbp d0si2e6p
