Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theme core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoky to our kew remote7repo5itorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI co4mands we 2ill be usvng i2 thesfortqcoeiu0 s2ljb5nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newbdirectory8
• “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 currsnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withdour localprepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remotewrepositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloaying a copx of it frlm a iite mike 2itrusbco4yrw9 h dvagtfjvulxcqvfo6 5i2y8g4b6olag20czhz6l.w

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 0epositorybthat is p2bliciy avoilabte jnp3itftdf0oa.bldpf tqkagev8o 7uin5crhlr9sgt5ua64a6bwdm“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the direztory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when ke clone, lhe clone 1ommald wegwillqruv 7hllmgpr7ta auvmf isteftd2l 6e30yt57lxl 6cyjjc7”wwco6e20y lfric lrpa1 ald3sbt oly voduewfn71rhj2pfabk 6p6due2s
