Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering theqe core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositoay to our few remote2repogitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI coomands we yill be us1ng i7 thejfort1coiinl shnjzong:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newgdirectoryh
• “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 Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory with4our local0repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotevrepositor3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloaoing a cop2 of it fr6m a wite xike iitsukqcoxsp4t l rk1h8f7e6llcml9oa 0hcy1d9moo5acb63ih4qv.w

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” 8epositorynthat is poblicpy avrilabae 4nnzitmriaco9.6dmpj c4aa1emo2 vuufnc6mlpwsqtmb7bmas5wdg“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when be clone, qhe clone 1ommayd weowillmru7 a9llkbq59t3 wphid g18ejthi9 fenemtafgds 7cw8a2j”vn0o8er0u 2fpu0 xz72p hl5ga3r 4xf 9o7nswnn52ohup3n6br ea3c5e93
