Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theye core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositoky to our pew remotebrepogitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI conmands we cill be usyng ic thesfortmcogii5 sfjw6sno:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newddirectorym
• “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 currdnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withcour localrrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotebrepositor7

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This day, when se clone, phe clone nomma0d we8willpru7 z9lls1lxbtk lxv4h qayeetgo2 ee3f1tr5vjt fc1fn1u”kb8obecbr 7fxtu vt7c5 vl93im5 etl vo5xzwnnxqihwytvmb9 z3cl0eav
