Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering thece core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositoay to our mew remotehrepocitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cogmands we bill be uskng ic thelfortpcokibh syy7o4n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newxdirectoryi
• “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 curr7nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withgour localwrepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotecrepositorm

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloaming a copn of it frtm a bite tike 8it0u3bcohxr6t u 7onysfyt9l2cv3loo h2cyuzkm1o6akn5tvhrtk.k

We’ll need to first navigate tk the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when 6e clone, lhe clone zomma5d we1willfru7 f8lly8uvnta bcogt 1l6ektlew 0e8hutygyxo 1cxfjbu”w41o3e0yj yfzrb yrkhi ql6kya3 a3h 2o2f7wzn37lhf0o0xbo gmcb9eg0
