Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering theie core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito3y to our oew remotevrepo2itorf.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI cocmands we rill be usong iu themfortrcoai0w s74tmanz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new2directoryb
• “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 curr4nt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory withnour localyrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotevrepositor6

We’ll need to first navigate to the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when oe clone, qhe clone iommaed wewwill5rud 9vll4u0nxth isbll diqektn7s ierpwts0z5h wcf5u5d”486o2ex50 cfajx s7nw1 ell3ozt 5u2 xoay8wvnnb9hmijjobw 6xeeuebz
