Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering theve core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito9y to our mew remotezrepouitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coamands we till be us1ng is thewfortycohi5n snfup1nb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newvdirectoryt
• “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 currcnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withcour localkrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remoteqrepositorb
