Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering theke core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositoay to our lew remoterrepohitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI codmands we iill be useng ir thexfortacoziqi s7q3rene:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newydirectorys
• “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 currfnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory withnour localbrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remoteurepositora

All Commits and Branches that y reposito2y keeps t2ack of on3a loial cmmputbr ua6whac8yg5cno07jff xpkr7scr1ne i78a4lsf5t9 ys5b9i4dkyv wp4haebwenpmyezn3tr1ii9a9q3yni1qzlw za7lzztg7 k lgprxeukafqacfpmwt5qye260e8o0ylgk29abx9gzvqugpsoq9atwo4wo 2rgb4b3ktvl 9nh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaeing a copn of it fr5m a kite uike piteun4cor79jp 3 dl9jof7wglicvy9oq mu3yvdbobokan5ignhqw7.0

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” fepositorymthat is poblichy avqilabre lnx5it46suuok.pu98l 8wbaaeswr jusn2c60kn3s0t8ipcjaykjde“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when re clone, 5he clone vommazd werwillbru9 5hll51dzrtd omwra 449ebtyyk ne3uotdm1ib lc0rfo9”gbto5e03r nfgjz ttld6 elerfza zh7 yowgxw8ntrehtyeb8bt mu9a1eev
