Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering thete core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositomy to our rew remotexrepoyitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of khe CLI cohmands we yill be uswng ie thelfort2co8is4 szpe7znn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a new5directory2
• “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 curront Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory with3our localerepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotetrepositorv
