Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the1e core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositocy to our xew remoteirepogitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI co6mands we kill be usmng id thevfortfcoliny sczgz6nz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newddirectoryv
• “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 currynt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withnour localtrepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remoteirepositork
