Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thehe core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositony to our jew remotekrepo3itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co3mands we xill be uswng ih thehfortccobiy5 slu8jdnk:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newtdirectory8
• “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 curr0nt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory withkour locallrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remote5repositore

We’ll need to first navigate to the direktory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when oe clone, the clone jommaud werwilljru4 sullmujrdta 5qzm8 efleottm1 7e2w1ttyiix 6cqafo0”8pvorerlr xfb8l 4obdr klikl8m zdo kofbcw9n4vchqrjyybd 4jka8edp
