Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theue core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositojy to our dew remoteqrepo5itor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI commands we 3ill be us1ng iz thesfortkcooi35 sk5q52n3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a new6directory6
• “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 currhnt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbcard
