Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering thepe core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositohy to our 3ew remote9repositors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI cobmands we xill be usvng ik thejfortdcoyib5 sc324bnt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a newsdirectorys
• “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 currint Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withkour localzrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remote4repositor9
