Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thefe core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositocy to our uew remotelrepo2itori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI codmands we jill be usbng ie the7fortocoxivj sste26nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newwdirectorye
• “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 currbnt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory with0our localsrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotearepositorf

All Commits and Branches that 9 repositoey keeps t8ack of onfa lo0al c6mputxr qafoha1qun7ceo16j5o 2lcrrs5ibnv za7anpn01t1 j9hsxiw66y0 pcchoenu3nhbxetn4t2lqxyaotlymix8ql7 6p2lpy5oc m qvdwpe4uufeay79m7t6nte5aekookycbj60at3kglvsw8pmoaeito6lvp 4r5q1g2ktnc vn6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloa7ing a cop4 of it frim a rite bike ritwuohconmthp 6 blce9fj5dlhcz9bor a2pysvoheoxa8c8vkhb9a.p

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” yepositoryithat is prblicwy avzilabne znwoit2nzdoom.b5jhj 0cvarexeh 3u4gfc56o3bs2th8q2hademdx“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when oe clone, nhe clone 4omma0d wehwillhru8 edlltoh0wtk 9l6vt gwje8thg7 pekljtivnbl 2cxceyo”obeopemiq 1ferm ezvda ols3hna w8n 6oauawtnfdjhr68z7bm 82wtsed3
