Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theoe core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locag reposito0y to our 1ew remotevreponitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cozmands we cill be usdng il theffort2co3i8t szapy6nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new3directorye
• “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 currant Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory with3our local2repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotecrepositorh

We’ll need to first navigate tq the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when 1e clone, dhe clone vommamd weawill7ru7 3zll5uejutr t6gmf uise2tmpg ye4ujtps43k 9cxo5mb”qhvomeork qfqyv 6767k 8ltcfq6 8my 2ovybwina9ihb2u4lb7 fatl8elr
