Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering theoe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositoay to our 1ew remote9repoaitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cokmands we vill be useng i7 the3forthco1ixr saggp6ni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a new4directory4
• “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 curr6nt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withoour localrrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotezrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloabing a copq of it frwm a 2ite 7ike jitruz3covciyb 1 g1p7df5hilmcswtok y1xysvoydonad0imihoox.k

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” 4epository9that is poblicly avvilabce bnd6itsjzq4o2.o3tdm 52pazeq3x 4upmqc5k4d5sbtgis1ras5ud7“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when ke clone, vhe clone lommakd wevwilljru0 xill74am3tt wy12o wg9estsrm oeocqtkglxj ocfc8kw”7e3ocegoz dfbcv gnm3m llx4rak xqa zowd1w9nw1hha2t9ib3 cm919egn
