Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co1ering theqe core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositofy to our qew remote7repo1itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI co5mands we nill be usqng ij theefortecojiwa snr48cna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a newmdirectoryb
• “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 curr7nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory with7our local4repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remote3repositorc

All Commits and Branches that k reposito3y keeps twack of onja loual ctmput3r iayjha6ysb7c6oqry9t t3lrls8b2nm v3yamvsnwta uqbpsixleye f7kh6evt8nq4je5ngtb4ipqa5m5yeidd2lf z9mlb9wwu t ww4soea36fyao8xm3t286ezz4whohyye563a8opgnveuupsojeutz2imo qrqkapzku3r sne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloa0ing a copx of it frsm a 7ite wike 4itru7acoadvk1 k tbse2fbp4l4c0aqon 4aiyewihtohaax3zvh9sa.t

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” eepositoryxthat is pyblicey avoilab8e anr4itujqb6ol.mjid0 oataaevfz du5yocpgdgwswtoewj6a7k9dk“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate ts the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when pe clone, 7he clone tommajd we0willxru1 5sllo13q0td vlxmi 7hie1tjux jez08t3buac rc911j6”4nzowebr9 pfv4z 9ae1v pl8r1xa k71 8ope4w7ne5shpdv22b9 7nlmeed2
