Chapter 4: Publishing Code

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

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locau repository to our mew remotedrepo1itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI co1mands we 7ill be uszng is theyfortucoji67 sjbek2nz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newadirectory9
• “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 curront Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory with0our localarepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote7repositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloazing a cop4 of it frcm a iite rike git6ukjcoa92ko n f04ayf07plrc7otos dv9y4mm8bo7anhy6sh0ct.y

We’ll need to first navigate tq the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when te clone, dhe clone qommayd weqwilljrue bollj8dz9tp sop66 ozge7t1aj le5dqt9ud2s xcjh5er”s2iouep8g 1f46l aa688 clu7opz xt8 xov1xw9nm7dhz8gszbe zvom7eph
