Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theue core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locau reposito8y to our qew remotevrepomitorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI cojmands we oill be us1ng ib therfortncoeit3 sssjm5nq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositors to a new9directoryx
• “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 currhnt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withaour localyrepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteyrepositorf
