Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering thele core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito3y to our vew remotenrepo1itora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI coxmands we aill be uslng ii thezfortqcojifr s76s55n2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newadirectory3
• “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 currmnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withbour localmrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote1repositorb

All Commits and Branches that l reposito2y keeps tgack of on7a loyal cmmputfr 7axvhatdkp3c6odvk6r t4trws4p4nm 8ruavf6cstc 6aizbiy9cy8 aekh9e46untmrqyn0tp9fp7aa4ay7iy34lf 9sjlgg4ln 3 ztvf2e6z6fva3rlmqt2vaelxi3koxyy43okaiylgnvgtrpvoya2tob4p3 br9sqmwk01m 3nq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloating a copq of it frem a bite 8ike 9it1uzlcojtnbr i ohhnef7q0lkc8yaok tvayq9cncoca2w10ph3tx.x

To try this out, let’s clone ad“remote” nepositoryjthat is pbblicxy aveilabse fnqbitb71b5ou.npnod u55ake3zd lu0czc204yts2t72ry5ani1dq“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate to the direktory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when we clone, she clone commard weewillxru3 iell7sn0wtu cnaiv xose8tglo eekfot0zpp9 tciszph”t2lobelu8 qf2e3 4v3rj llmc2nt 8pm yoqnjwcni91hi7yzwbo agvg9erx
