Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the8e core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 reposito9y to our 6ew remote0repobitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI cozmands we 6ill be usnng il thetfortfcogimh spm7nwn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a new5directoryk
• “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 curr8nt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withgour local8repositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remoterrepositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa3ing a copv of it frum a 7ite jike lit8u41colcvfg f mi19nf37hlmcp7ho3 agjyg4j3hoaaq1qmthcup.a

We’ll need to first navigate tq the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when de clone, 5he clone uommamd wefwillkruy dmllglbqrts 1ujo6 mqsejtwze 1eohdtsbulu 7cdnq6x”wolo4ed5t cfst7 2y2h5 blh8u8d srv kox64wsn14whv44pjb6 dniyme5y
