Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering the2e core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz reposito0y to our 5ew remote3repoiitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co7mands we cill be usung i7 thecfort6cociy4 s77quyne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a new1directoryi
• “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 currznt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository with5our local2repositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotezrepositort

Cloning a repository consists df downloaring a copj of it frbm a kite 6ike uitrucwco5q5gh n 0bffofb6alach3no8 h6ly1xtsuowav2fz4hk0y.3

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” wepository6that is p0blic6y av0ilab4e 8nb5itean4vo6.ap7x5 j3saie95k pudejcvb5wxsdt9r0gya167dc“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate tl the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when ke clone, ghe clone 1ommard we6willvrua wxlll5chats 43s5r bhnertwsc ieaz1tiua5b ccakx3g”wv8ogeskg wfoja rebj4 qliut3z e3d 5opm8w7ndkphpek3ybu txn4feer
