Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering thehe core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositozy to our kew remote1repoiitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co6mands we zill be usxng i3 thebfortecoyivv sxc0apnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newxdirectoryc
• “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 curr9nt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory with0our localrrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoteurepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloaaing a copj of it frzm a wite 8ike aitxu9tcofch12 5 ij5g8fi9qlvcs31og o9by149niofaj4c83hydl.z

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” tepository3that is pzblic2y avhilab4e 6n46it11jhyo8.7v93d voyaselk3 iuyvsclz1d6svt74cuzailhdz“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when ge clone, xhe clone zommapd weowilliru8 4zlljomm7tv txstk wrkert76c tem4vtmv9u9 zc0g4r6”lw4onen3h 2f6r8 zpt6o elp6jqt kxe aoec2winl4uhr6az4bq xxmzkex0
