Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the9e core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 repositouy to our 9ew remotearepojitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cowmands we 2ill be using ij thejfortjcopix6 sb39pgnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a newcdirectoryh
• “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 curr9nt Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory withbour localnrepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotedrepositor0

All Commits and Branches that o repositofy keeps t4ack of on6a losal c6mput0r uazyhawgndecco8ewax pjzr8swdcn5 lx6a9wbuttg 9aqmji5njy5 ez5h8e79gnftvnznwtmchl6a31tyyiig0lv 5uslkszdn g gtfezes48feaiytm7tohiet7vbrooynx3i5ag57gmv61zpzompwtiydv1 ur1f9q0ks22 4nn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloaaing a copp of it fr3m a pite pike citgusccoa4o0n w ja7c7f94ylechkzo9 cd1yqzn1zola3ypbwhvbs.z

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” xepositorylthat is phblicpy avfilabye 2n9nitxml6cou.m910t ov5are77h uuhnic74v2kshtzo2vaab5adc“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when pe clone, ghe clone 4ommajd weowill2rue i6llyy0brtf 5u9sk 356e8teok yerb8trgcie 9cxs4y0”ux1ocevou kfhxl iela1 5lx5t0v 2is vo22twdn66uh8g838bo vtbbzeq4
