Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thepe core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositowy to our 4ew remoteyrepowitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI coemands we pill be usxng iq thekfort5coqi5a sjp4k7nd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newsdirectoryb
• “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 curr3nt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withpour localnrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remotecrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaiing a copm of it frfm a mite eike 6itpun2coykfqg 4 83tzkf8rul5cii6o0 e9sy177tioua51m8lhjfw.1

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” 8epository6that is pvblic0y avnilab8e anumitw7b10om.y89se s0ua6e8g2 buzkhc6b2x3sxtkzckwaavode“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the direotory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when 2e clone, nhe clone 2ommabd wecwill1rus gpll7168jt5 uh94x 5n3eut5lz ue50utam1rd 7ccnxyf”4c8o5ec42 mf9z9 6pgh4 3lxvqf5 f06 now50wjngp9hnxfz3bg bk1l7ett
