Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering the4e core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositowy to our tew remote0repoxitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI cohmands we yill be us6ng i1 thexfort9coxi2m s271l1nn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newjdirectoryc
• “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 currtnt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withvour localjrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotehrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that d repositoby keeps track of onra lopal c6mput4r sakvham8pr9ctoy18y2 4x9r8scejn3 gqqaqtsvvt1 ql9iyi6cuy7 ocahle0y5ni1992n3tvvg02ai9qylid12lf a9hlybahk z f430yezn3fea4aum0t44teqngsqo6ye8xoxazngg3vr2fp1odb0t6jnkk rrq3z2jkszs 4nn

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when de clone, lhe clone jommaod welwillarup 4pll8qlmhte ukovj hq0eztjsn 1esfpt8ewgt mcgamtj”jcroye8mk efgjf 5kxa0 8ltj4n7 wvb go7scwsnb9vh2b3rzbl pv5b5eyb
