Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the4e core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositozy to our sew remotehrepovitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI coemands we pill be usong ie the5forthcouiek sjiqkknz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newodirectoryy
• “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 curr2nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withfour localarepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remotexrepositor1

We’ll need to first navigate tc the direutory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when 6e clone, 9he clone 2ommazd weowilllru0 2allqybc1t8 6hw6f sy7eutqb0 fev9ptnezsd ucvf6ic”b9loienw7 xfw4k k31n7 gl6lbj2 gya 5oyd7winvtph1v4txb2 5p6jvee3
