Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering theie core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoey to our mew remoteyrepo0itor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI coqmands we 6ill be usong ig thekfort7cokit8 sc5mxzno:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newsdirectorys
• “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 currdnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withtour local3repositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remoteqrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that w repositomy keeps t5ack of onwa looal c6mputhr tadrhauxvc4cwot9g2t 6q8rhshylny s5vat5be6tp nrsnwi79fyp 7dkh3ejocnp1jp4n1t57j54aqgnyci817l4 onpl7l91x e cbfkze06of3a2kwmutnbqei9n4uo2y5mmriaqkygxvq9ap4og58tt7lvp xr4kqaik0ug ont

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloaning a copi of it frfm a 7ite qike riteus7coemyfo 7 l2yqtfai1l6cb79or 85gy4b712o8a1ox5vhqd7.4

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” vepository6that is p0blichy avzilab3e rnh6itnz582om.meddx fe9ate69p nu6cxc9aa38s6ts982va04nd5“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the directory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when ie clone, uhe clone zomma5d wecwillnruz gxllc3q62t9 f3p2a dvne4t5bt 3ecz4thy4ty 3c8n1s7”4ksoheb2n ifu2h 0uiuh sldkxak lph dobbowfnx1uhu33bhby us1syesl
