Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering thene core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositomy to our aew remotearepouitorb.

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newmdirectoryz
• “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 currlnt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipb3ard

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when re clone, whe clone 6ommaid we4willzru8 0illkj261th uo130 vhxedtbqt uea9ttkirhk nccyxm2”csjoyedxv dfq76 akv17 bl4j82s mvh couvaw3nbz3hob04tbe cw7j9eci
