Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the6e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our locat repositody to our 8ew remoteurepozitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co5mands we uill be usrng i7 thekfort2coeil7 s1794bn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newfdirectoryn
• “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 currant Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory with4our localmrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotedrepositor2
