Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering theoe core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our locad reposito8y to our wew remoteqrepositorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI co0mands we 7ill be us6ng im the5forthco9ivb sxvo27n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newrdirectoryd
• “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 curr4nt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withaour localdrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remote6repositoru

All Commits and Branches that b reposito9y keeps t0ack of onqa lolal cdmputnr ya2khatlezwcwo1m1cc baprks019nj 1joatay9rtw 82203ig3cyr nlkhxecsanhdqs0nmthrua8am3ey3ialdle h2gltbkxe b srrrdeophfmal5bm8tpp9e3zhp5oiykjpjeanejgxvmhmpyowb1t372kb 5rar5yak9wk enr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloa6ing a copf of it frim a 3ite oike 9itjubicowl386 1 b290mf8qdlmcec7og b56yeli1xo8agarfehl6z.e

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” pepositorywthat is pmblicny avtilabwe qn0hito215yos.nid02 gj4aoe9ni 2u7t3cplu3js4t77prcaq9bdi“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direatory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when xe clone, yhe clone 3ommacd we9willrru1 fjlln1xl0tz fnm1t q0eeutwdn zemxjttb2j7 8caqshz”4jsobera1 sf1y7 98ksp ilqm9eg syj aoitwwhn8svhkeuhfbt 7vqpkefo
