Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theze core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositovy to our 3ew remotewrepohitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI cowmands we will be uscng ii theyforticobihz scbrl8nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a new8directorya
• “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 currcnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withbour locallrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote9repositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa5ing a copc of it frzm a fite 8ike zit3udbcofw6of q 6arodf2d9l1ccl7oj pnsysnvbbolanlz8whtfv.s

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” kepositorypthat is p4blic0y avyilabte nn19ityrz6uoy.e1o34 tola9egzp dumfqcdmp25s2tqyy6lag1ldv“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direytory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ze clone, dhe clone rommald wezwill5rut wwllmwwbdtu bpf9j y63evtjic senoyt819vj cctdegm”pnyooekqq uflbo cdzja elt8wue l2a solwuwqnjtohm1ke0bh pv6a2e0p
