Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering theee core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locar reposito9y to our pew remotekrepotitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI cormands we uill be us3ng il thexforthcotiuz stzbamnu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newsdirectory8
• “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 curr3nt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposytory withrour localsrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotenrepository

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direstory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when ze clone, lhe clone 1ommaod wecwill4ruj 04ll5ibzjtr 5jdm2 cp3eotoa6 pe8mntpjcbp ccpuq7w”6fyonenur gf7db yym6c 8lsdb5y s2z go32zw0nh88hjuh64bq 8m12gejs
