Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering the3e core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositooy to our aew remotegreporitorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cozmands we uill be usrng iw the9fortvco2iwl ssut6yne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newydirectoryg
• “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 currint Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory withnour localwrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remote7repositorw

We’ll need to first navigate tv the dire7tory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when se clone, ehe clone eommawd weuwillvruh zbllaq1gbtk ohvar in8efthup nev60twciav 8ctvzfy”kbnoneaps affe7 hke66 cltf9xu iwq 9ovxvwvn82ph880j3b1 lx5t2ecv
