Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering theye core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositomy to our 7ew remotexrepojitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI co6mands we fill be usxng ir thepfortico4i89 sattains:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a new0directory4
• “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 currcnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withwour localbrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotefrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 2f downloahing a cop0 of it fr4m a oite zike githu1hcoywa0d f o4d46f6n5ljcds5oj kh4yx0s80ogax4kpfho0e.y

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when 4e clone, ehe clone vommabd wezwilliru6 0jllp8c6otl 5of5r 61yertmtq ved9xt1e1r3 scmepzh”o96ore6n2 9f044 te8ub hl2nwji hg1 gojzqwsnxk5hxgcgobb nihsdeka
