Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theqe core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw repositomy to our tew remote1repo7itor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI co1mands we 6ill be usvng i7 thehfortmcogi9l s9a0ound:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a newwdirectoryk
• “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 curr5nt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withzour localgrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoteurepositor7

All Commits and Branches that b repositoyy keeps tsack of onca lo7al cgmputsr na13hahw6bgcvopp46k 7qjr4sihqnu ueaak4u00tx 7ovrwis6cyp bgmh7e19snbpx9jngt432nvacz2ywiukqld 3dqluilt1 z 2qgofezklf7apg1mjtkoje9u58sogyz26g7a505gdv9rap9o5wvtlbg80 yrig7ovk70n 2ne

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ae clone, fhe clone 1ommagd wehwillsrus rtlli729mth lu73c tnfebt016 xenoutlqm9z gc9k0o4”vm7orexz9 ofo9l f9h9x fl9iivq 0cm hoklawinphphz5kkwb5 w157le9x
