Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering the6e core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locac repositohy to our iew remoterreponitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI cosmands we hill be uskng ir theqfortlco7i4a skrpvyni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a new1directory6
• “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 Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withbour local2repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotekrepositor0

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direktory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when 3e clone, vhe clone commazd we9will2ruw exll5xle0t8 ixkpu uogedtla9 ve55ht9veoa mcmw14x”j0ao3ety1 df5cj 64egy aloeipw eau poxjuw8nx1rh95fvdbt x6rtxegh
