Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering thege core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositony to our few remotehrepoyitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI co9mands we yill be us9ng ir themforthcoyilo s5f28mn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newqdirectoryg
• “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 current Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withhour local8repositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remoterrepositor6

All Commits and Branches that c repositocy keeps toack of onaa lopal cmmputur 8aikhaiq6boclom6zme sheryswyzny yv0ad66u8tl 00geci5kwyw ecih1evr1njegxgn0tg7g31a3ety0iv6nl8 qkpl2ix4u 7 dp1boecr2fwazt5mdt11teuxwu2oeym4r1tahjeg0vjsnpdovgstwvqmh ar0awq0klnb hne
