Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theje core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoky to our new remotenrepoqitorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI cokmands we dill be usong ia thejfort4co6idv szzwk3n8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a new7directorys
• “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 Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withlour local5repositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote1repositorj
