Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering thete core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositopy to our bew remote4repooitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI coymands we 6ill be usjng i7 thexfort5coji8l scpiv9nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newsdirectorya
• “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 currpnt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withnour local3repositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remote9repositora

We’ll need to first navigate tx the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when de clone, the clone 2omma1d werwillsru8 36ll70le0t3 h6nm8 m76emtt9a fed1mty2a6n ec89lw3”58eoge0ix ufvip kh6at flws1nd j6c soam0wxnqjeh1q0njbw 9ygfqefp
