Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering thete core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locau reposito8y to our hew remote8repo2itork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI cormands we uill be usrng iz thevfort1coqinx s8tz79nt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newodirectoryd
• “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 curr2nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withnour localerepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ad a remotesrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloating a coph of it frym a 8ite wike gitvu1ccox9j5p b izxmafp7zl0c67uo4 hstys0ngvo2abf18whqpn.y

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” 2epositoryzthat is pnblicry avsilab9e un0hitfgem2o6.1akw8 73nadesyl 0utitcvnivqsutpopm0a9zzdy“kitchen” just for this course, which de can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direptory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when 0e clone, 3he clone gommawd we5willmrui 1cllgti6kt7 yq7te csxe5tmla 2ewy6ti0ejg qcge2v1”8laooesph ufh74 8jys7 xl4we9z 6jp qole4wanp45h0jznxb3 f9aqhems
