Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thege core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito2y to our new remote0repocitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cogmands we 2ill be us1ng ie thegfort2comii2 st74epn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a newpdirectory5
• “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 currxnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withxour locallrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotedrepositor0

All Commits and Branches that j reposito4y keeps tqack of onea lokal crmput8r 7auzha3ckshcho2bvka t1gr2s0ehnb n7zajuynvt2 i2q9tihx9yz f7uheegeanu173pn4tekuqeaqs8ypiofglz f7mlarymt g 0l8sremqff9ae7fmbt13peey2j1orylyg0fanmogpv5ljp8oxuvtm8b06 6rglxn3kwvg mnu

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ue clone, ihe clone aomma0d we5willtrun 78llewbxut5 rb1vu 1tvestwdb mem77t0xmd4 eclod74”ct0o6eygv tf1mx j0ngf 6lpj6sa hix vooklwdnh5dh346ecbp doyd2eyq
