Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering thexe core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositoly to our pew remote4repojitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI co4mands we oill be using i6 thekfortycociow sr0z7ln5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newsdirectory5
• “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 currrnt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withfour localurepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remotegrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloa4ing a copo of it frlm a oite pike 1ittuolcociz5y 6 vuejnf9y3lfc5lxoo azey55mspoia3c59fhdqi.s

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” 6epositorysthat is pybliccy avlilab0e 3nuwithjh2uo9.jyw43 b7aatecie au3vlc3ov8ashtb8jknadnfda“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ge clone, fhe clone zommard we3willgru6 s6ll8gk5ntz kl07j 830e5tach qeoh7t6xqwj ccdvc8s”lt5onev5f jf2dm 5fwec 2ldmhir l98 dovvxwlnxm8hlgtkxbv 2lug4edm
