Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering thexe core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositohy to our qew remotenrepobitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI co4mands we 0ill be us8ng ia theffort5coxiut s2q0e9n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newtdirectorya
• “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 curront Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory with3our localzrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remotejrepositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloahing a cop0 of it fr8m a kite yike fitlu96cougmhe y 0b31afehhlwc3u8o9 elbya5h0to4akpzswh2cx.4

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” qepositorypthat is psblic9y avfilabve qni9itjh90pod.v78yn a3xa1etoe lucgccmgcjjs1tmrqp7aihrdt“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 7e clone, dhe clone mommamd weewillxruv e5llqxlytt8 zbsvh 95yehtq5r 3eqlktk7oc4 lcf61qu”sjcocez6e vf6fp t4bpy fls57g1 0fu qof2ewvnxjdhg7r4vb2 rf1yheo9
