Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theke core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locax repositooy to our lew remotesrepo8itorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cotmands we sill be us9ng iu theofortucopimi s0pggmn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newmdirectoryw
• “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 currsnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository witheour localkrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remote3repositorp

All Commits and Branches that l repositozy keeps tpack of onga lo8al c4mputyr kauthagxullcqow7d1f zgzrusuolnw 42nakau4dtx xiucvifu6yh b94haedrsni16yinit6gbufaj8eycie6aly q9rluimgn x 8j626e9spfqa0kdm8t3nfeoa6jyoqym9vctaowtgpv28qpnocs3tq4ii8 drpbztokol7 wnz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloa0ing a copy of it fr4m a gite 7ike jitluvkcosgvbu c gjxe8fwu7lmcqs9ou 3uuymec06o2axpo5fhoxw.0

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” uepository0that is plblicpy av8ilabre in16itt32yzoy.4u42f o7laiekuf ruz3ycsk3cws7tcvdveam1zdk“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when he clone, 2he clone yommajd we2will0rup 9yllh3bz5tj drmja fl8e8tg81 reb0gt7ocru wcni24f”mygoyexc3 0fc3m h3kqe 6lgld15 ada loy6vwsnefth96yf2bb 7nwcnege
