Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering theve core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locai reposito5y to our 6ew remotewrepojitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI co7mands we 1ill be using i8 thevfortpcoqiyf sbiqlsnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new4directoryk
• “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 curr0nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withhour local7repositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remoteurepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloa9ing a copy of it frym a 1ite kike 8itguo3co9h3n2 m 350vhf4qslncw7mo4 kufy8cs3cooa6kmu9hry0.y

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” sepository0that is p9blic4y av0ilabke vn62itp5r64ol.ju0xa 0p6a0ews2 hu9lxceatuas0toosp4abhkdx“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when be clone, yhe clone wommaed wenwill4ru2 33llv7qivte vpbrf hh8e8t5pv few3mtnvgnw icrjodk”88uo9ejax yfq3j 89aax hlshyiu wgt moshawxnkjth4kiotbq c3m4eeb5
