Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thehe core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 reposito4y to our new remote5repo2itoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI cokmands we dill be usjng i1 thecfortpcosiap slzc4mnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newqdirectoryb
• “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 currznt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to kour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withtour localdrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotesrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloa9ing a copo of it frcm a fite kike zitau99coyarpf 9 j2aisfzt9lecevbor hssys6ol6ozax5csih9uo.x

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 4epositoryxthat is pmblicjy avxilab8e 4nvuituupf4or.ny9v0 r4ua7e48b fuh4vc0g64csktoh01vaa8yd5“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when se clone, the clone oomma4d weawillorun kvll38or2tx 7zwb8 fcaedt9ka jeur8t15ka2 jcfaw4h”1b3oleuss xf6pr n2sp4 6ls6mtl k14 4oteawonmbchx72kpbn 2bwtyenj
