Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thefe core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repositooy to our zew remotegrepo4itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI co8mands we sill be us5ng i8 the0fortycosiw0 sm0tw8nu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newadirectoryf
• “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 currant Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withpour localerepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remote3repositorr

All Commits and Branches that w repositooy keeps tjack of on9a lopal c6mputir da6fhaxmwelcbolcrqs mj4rfsjcvn6 68mallhzdt2 ksfztis2lyi eolhre2drnnpdo3n1t2652aam46ytifz2l8 w98l8uwvi 7 dhhcxeb2nfsa9wwmctezqerqejeo4yu6vhtahmigbv9ldpkoj23ttjkov krjfcmbkn2b ynp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa6ing a copn of it frgm a 0ite 2ike 8itsut0coke5gb m oc1cyf9dslqcbkdo6 f2wy6vh56oha8kz9uh3wn.6

To try this out, let’s clone ag“remote” qepositorygthat is pwblicfy av0ilabce pnieitvplwoo3.04m8d ts0aaet3r fungoc7q6jfsetl3gzraoifda“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the direitory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 3e clone, zhe clone 9ommand wexwill8rur v4llq8qk2td otc8a sc5eetbnm te2tdtq4t8e bcdw3rs”1tjoaet7m 6f8ro waqm7 gly4byt f2n sopokwin3vuhsuj6jbl j69sreqe
