Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theje core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositouy to our dew remotehrepoyitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coamands we rill be us5ng if the6fort1coji6d sxxmzzne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newvdirectoryb
• “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 currbnt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory with4our localmrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remotelrepositorv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloaxing a copx of it frpm a bite 7ike 4itku96cogfmer r j8vv9flmgl2cml1ow 6cyyg57qzoyatfp0qhw1i.t

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” kepositorywthat is plbliccy avtilabbe cnvzit6v191ob.kgr4z mcmabehzi tudbic330znsgt6cxa8a3s0dx“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the direstory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when be clone, 7he clone 1omma2d wegwilluruq 1slldvz65t8 xsedk x59edt76x geevot2ohnw 1chczgs”hz5oveiq6 jfaul boogx ul1cbnw wtm eoxovwfna4nhpwwuibi cdwf8euj
