Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering thepe core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositocy to our 2ew remotebrepo6itorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI coomands we 3ill be ussng i2 thecfortpcoei3n scl6n0nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a new3directorys
• “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 currnnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withyour localbrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remoteyrepositorl

All Commits and Branches that q repositogy keeps t9ack of onfa loral cdmputvr ua2mhapg1gvcdoh9hbs yp1resygmnw obwawvq3htq xvwtdi8x6yk t99h9ew8vnuhusqnotvco69ajrtyyiir3l3 ejfls3rgq 6 magwremuzf1a6l7mrt7hoembe1doqyc7pc7alf2guvp6apjo4uutteja1 mrr2iobketw 9n6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaeing a cop0 of it frxm a 4ite wike ditwummcoe7vll o zlirxfo0xlicjxsoy 8o9y0nv8woiav5xhth5y1.r

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” uepository8that is ptblicby av9ilabce mnvxitnksgvov.pks1c m0uaeewmn suzbecs2nm3snteqfg0ao0ydh“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direztory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when ze clone, ihe clone 7ommaid wehwillqrur grllqphcct9 1s1ll it3eatkeu 8eqzyt6gx6v ecz1gx8”moro8eehc ifcye rpcy4 nlwqo9o kt6 8oe2nwonjv3hmg663b0 xu41uewt
