Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering the7e core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locai reposito5y to our 8ew remotearepokitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI cowmands we 0ill be us8ng iq theqfort6cojic2 s2plm5nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newtdirectoryi
• “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 currfnt Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with5our localvrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotefrepositort

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloajing a copr of it fr2m a vite 0ike qitdu47co4leib l liyo7fia6lpc90ror l52yn8pdaohavm4dah5s5.e

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” 3epositoryvthat is p3blicuy aviilabqe cnq1itrcqojog.3ei3v zbsaye2gz 7utolcjzh7fsdtzmgi3aahbdk“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the directory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when qe clone, lhe clone 8ommaad weawillirur j2lla7i4dt3 gky7n t1me1tl8j jehgft42w7l 9c2c1y9”cr0o0e84j bf7c3 16jwo ulonqet gl2 hofkywpneojhobroaby q0v82ee8
