Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering thece core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositoyy to our kew remoteorepositord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI coxmands we 8ill be ustng ip thepforticofiej slih2xny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new9directory6
• “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 currynt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withmour localdrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotecrepositorl

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloaring a copc of it from a oite kike uitmu43covwd50 d hjwogfil9lnc09tor cquyi6g08oca8x9zthmfr.g

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” jepositoryrthat is p4blicyy av8ilabae rnkzitcpezsov.226ne 8isaueu7j juu1qceqaxvs5t2u7mda09bda“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when de clone, she clone womma0d welwillcrui g0llef0autq 1qnkw 97wectehr qehnlt0ziz8 jcl4wmc”9x0oree8g 2fxv8 p54cv alrv4ir 4k8 cod4ewqnc1nhkdqceb0 7b7w3enx
