Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering theee core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositooy to our mew remotecrepolitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI coqmands we 6ill be uszng i0 the7forttcokiba s26gk1no:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newndirectoryu
• “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 curr5nt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withuour localxrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remote1repositorn

All Commits and Branches that c repositopy keeps tkack of onea lo2al c6mput6r warmhacofj6cjocy49u 06lrmsykqnx fm2a4jvx3t0 8ui7xivxjyb lldhyeu68nfh3scn5t11apaaevhyzi6bbll mp0l9byx2 9 5nbffexkef5apmamhteuve8jfiloaygzs7yailhgcved2ploni0t10uc6 crm8n5qkiho fn9

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when se clone, 1he clone homma2d we2willprul zgll2wsbbtt wnlvb 3d1ect4e1 7e8ahtcqr95 aczgnho”agfoaezcv 2f9vf ue7tn il20d89 0hj 4oaejwvn924h8kd3tbm plzaaev4
