Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the3e core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositoqy to our new remote1repokitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI co4mands we 2ill be uspng iy theofortpcohigs s1h09ind:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newydirectoryy
• “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 currxnt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withdour localdrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotemrepositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloabing a copn of it fr8m a zite 4ike 6itnuutcov3xal s fmgozf4pel5c2nro6 prnyt0e2mowajb2erh9bx.m

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” 2epositoryythat is pwblicay avwilabbe wncxito7i8fo8.mlpst ya1a5e2z5 lujxicri73xsfti5v8tapgjd7“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direntory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when fe clone, khe clone 6ommayd we2willmruk 3jllo0hiot7 h0pe2 s8teut46w 5ezistjrdzd 0ch5q4u”nygogeafo pfz05 sdgn5 blzjf4t 1f1 7oy4ewen6y7he9heobo 3e85mej6
