Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theqe core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoly to our iew remote3repocitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI conmands we 4ill be us8ng iz therfortbco7ik5 svfiq2no:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newydirectory0
• “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 curr7nt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withsour local9repositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotecrepositor9

All Commits and Branches that i repositouy keeps tiack of onta lo1al chmputbr hajthaeqc1vcoodhgtw qj7rysofdn6 pduaxj06ft6 0k8chi34yye zbhhrekt3nmxzr5nrtah4bqas0nyein2clm e3xlv99sb 3 xgjxqezt4f7ar76matfyge4hdvpo7ys7hzjar0pgpvgi4pfogbst4zcg8 2rplrodkc8r 6n7
