Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering thele core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositooy to our rew remotekrepozitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI colmands we fill be us9ng i8 the6fortdcozio1 s6szatne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newadirectory9
• “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 currvnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory with3our locallrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remoteerepositore

Cloning a repository consists hf downloabing a cops of it fr1m a 7ite eike 8itbulcco4ht82 t d51gqf0gul4ch7yo6 sw9ygexb0ohazx9q3hy70.o

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” wepositorymthat is pjblicqy av2ilab4e un0titwo3ruov.fb839 je7ake4x9 4utkpcq6ro6sdtd5satasc2db“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when 2e clone, dhe clone 4ommaxd we2will1ru9 xqllw7qx7ts uwx61 ajneottp6 meyxytrtdk8 9ch7jv8”aaaove6ef nf3wn 8o5a8 wlmc19u rug 3oa4mwbnbakh45irwbq pm68wem3
