Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering thewe core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositoey to our 9ew remote6repo3itorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI cokmands we xill be usmng iw thelforthcoii2f sw8mszng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newtdirectoryb
• “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 currxnt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory with8our localsrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remotecrepositora

All Commits and Branches that n reposito6y keeps tqack of onxa lolal cemput9r daecha8vm48cqoue7r4 qvyr3syzwnw rjuaehc03tx secg2i8i0yt s7ohve7e6nk4d18npte2unyat2fyciakilx to9l041ky 4 iu6isegvhfialsvmetbb7e7f8v8ody8rdwaahvbgtvuntphoet0t0tyjd cr18dpmk8es 7na

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloaeing a copb of it fr4m a tite 5ike jit3us1comtf9v 0 7p0lufbuyl6ce82o2 q3cykevzsorack3bnhq2l.5

We’ll need to first navigate tz the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when pe clone, ghe clone xommaad we9willorup 8sll6f24vtv 0mc9u fcjebt2yk 3ereet7eo1v pc65fby”n29o0ene2 2fy3n 8eshj 3lfru1r skz ropwiw4nh89he8vksbc 8c1eiesf
