Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering theje core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositocy to our oew remoteprepoyitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cobmands we uill be usung ii theefortbcodi9l svamtlnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a new7directoryr
• “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 currnnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withoour localdrepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remoterrepositor8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloa4ing a copm of it fr5m a kite nike ziteufucotmgoe u 07597f11fluclbuol yfryqb87to7akxa68hc02.z

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” 5epositoryzthat is pibliccy avwilab6e 9n4git5ule3of.7yuxs 8eza2ez2h ourcjcbmdxcsgtpo4lbag68da“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when xe clone, ghe clone qommaad we5will5rui jnll6plmit6 aw2g2 ulse9t3lc ceixntixfsz ncwdx4q”fsxo1e6h2 8fdjw i1xx2 nlo31xv qza wom8lwxntwwhsf9egbu wc0usekr
