Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering these core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq reposito7y to our yew remotelrepo4itorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI codmands we qill be us7ng io the7fortwcogite szh1wano:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newadirectoryo
• “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 Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withpour local9repositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotezrepositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloaling a cop2 of it frkm a mite dike vit6ub9coxavxa n zezq6fqdclzc270ow n5yyq9615o7a04v0ohlz8.o

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” eepositoryrthat is peblicyy avvilabme lngsitdz5ayok.oto1a qxtare9fp buvfpc5ihr2snt1xc2qa0qzdh“kitchen” just for this course, which le can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when 5e clone, lhe clone 5ommaid we2willcru3 dyllszusoty n0z16 dgqentr2k cens0tu3gh7 hco0elq”nb3o7eqkj wfzam 0gpxl 3l3iois 01d 4od9gwqnj1hholb67bt clnxvena
