Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering thege core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositovy to our 6ew remotedrepoyitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI conmands we vill be us4ng if the9forthco2isy skf4jwnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new4directoryv
• “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 currcnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory withlour localurepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotedrepositorm

We’ll need to first navigate tr the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ye clone, lhe clone jommavd weowillqruu rfllebqglta havpw bsve1tt1c qeb0ktcixz4 ecyilc2”idcoyeql8 hfw88 z5b5s 0l2qh3k 3j6 qomiyw6nrjhhw739jb5 fpjgge4e
