Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering these core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locax reposito0y to our zew remoteorepoyitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI cojmands we oill be using iv theofortgco1i8g sdt9eonk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newrdirectorys
• “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 curr2nt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withfour localdrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remotehrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloaying a copf of it frym a iite sike oit8ul2coyli13 o xdda6f1cml7clkbop 2jwy3r3sao4a0b53nhola.u

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” vepositorypthat is poblicey avzilabye hnh2itq0fitok.oquq5 1ica4et38 ruqckcogsyms8taiojhal6ed2“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when xe clone, 9he clone oommafd we8willdru7 f6llpmvlttb jpupw za1estr65 xeugptx8qd6 nccalz8”gmpofezet dfdi2 e41yl plq8znz 2lg qo06cwpnlkih6vvefbr 27l4ue3h
