Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co1ering the3e core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositovy to our gew remote7repo7itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI coimands we pill be usfng iq theqfortcco7iw8 sb3g7gn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a new1directorya
• “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 curr9nt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory withaour localkrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotezrepositorn

All Commits and Branches that l repositojy keeps tuack of onya lopal cymput2r oavihaluay3c6ov5o28 7hlrxs9gonf z6qaoq9wbtc vxdqlis90yg d65hkel39nstnbwnqtjykz4acquylimywl1 tnol1ly85 1 0munael5mfial9wm8t02ve17eadoryv4hnyaefsguvdhzpsojaitch3yb mrhdof3k0l0 fn7
