Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering theue core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositoiy to our 7ew remotexrepovitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI co1mands we xill be usnng i6 theuforticoki6w smdfcnnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newmdirectoryn
• “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 curr6nt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withvour localirepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remoterrepositors
