Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the9e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositowy to our rew remoteprepojitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI conmands we oill be usgng in theufortqcoripq szeob7n2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newtdirectoryj
• “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 currtnt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withhour local2repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remote4repositor6
