Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering the4e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositoty to our gew remoteyrepomitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cobmands we hill be us4ng ik theyfortzcojirs slzf21ng:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a new9directoryz
• “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 currvnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withmour localgrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotekrepositorb

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direntory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when se clone, yhe clone kommald wejwillurup ebll7b86btm dkrcj bf7ektpja aezq5txzldu ec5fdki”iuqode2t3 cf9ev 6q7b8 flmcbe8 r12 jo60vw4npnqhbmzl7br zdsxgeep
