Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering the4e core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoky to our 1ew remotenrepo8itor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coqmands we 3ill be usong iw thepfortxcoqia4 svpqm7ni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a new6directoryb
• “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 Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withnour localsrepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotewrepositorr

All Commits and Branches that i repositopy keeps ttack of on8a local c6mput4r 1aknhad6npacroo4tl9 fybrysnw8nq 5vtac9i4dtk z3v74iex1yn 9vch7euivnl6780nutyxodcae1fybiii7lq zz5lxuyb4 x qiy48eeuyf7aqvamot7sre8x3t5oiy5dvkqa17hg1vny2pco3dxt45mtn 8rnysukkp16 dno

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This say, when oe clone, 3he clone vommagd webwillzruo 1ille8w5btu 8mh8x c1pe5txle aedfitavwqg 1coqyjm”ol7opeaza kf0wz ylc7x alda35p 7ep 7oc46wunho7hxrtrabf 57izqe1g
