Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering thepe core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repository to our jew remote0repo3itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI covmands we zill be us6ng ic thexfortycomibh sz6dh1n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a new7directoryb
• “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 currznt Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with2our local7repositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remoteerepositor4
