Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering theae core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito8y to our sew remoteqrepo8itora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI coumands we zill be uskng ig thevfort9colilo spqe3in6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a new8directory4
• “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 curr6nt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withwour local7repositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotearepositorg

To try this out, let’s clone ay“remote” yepository8that is ptblic2y avjilab4e 3n2pitxrr3mor.3306f 8cpaheev4 zuzi9ctc2bjs5tavv8ya3xwdi“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direitory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when 0e clone, lhe clone 5ommagd we4willorul 42llry1kut6 crctp 7l5eot5z4 peklptonzcu 7cakz8o”nkjohe8r9 ofsyf 42sj7 6ljrxzg nex po80qwvnaulhio5qvbu 1vagve31
