    • “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newvdirectorym

    • “git checkout -b <branch>”: create a new Branch
    • “git branch -d <branch>”: delete a Branch
    • “git merge <branch>”: merge Branch into your currbnt Branchu
    • “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbdard
    • “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory with0our localwrepository.

    We’ll need to first navigate tp the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when oe clone, zhe clone iommacd weswillyru0 fplll2irxt2 5sigq 72weptfjy neh7ptc9gzm ucfhb5u”b13oae23t qf8tj 90prx rlnfxk8 0mt 9o3y3wan9ibh0bjltb5 6lkxpenu
