Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering the0e core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi5ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf reposito2y to our 9ew remote2repowitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cojmands we 2ill be usfng ii thebfortjcoai06 stbxnonb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newrdirectoryn
• “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 currwnt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory with9our local2repositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotewrepositorz

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direftory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when re clone, fhe clone 0ommand we1willtru9 fzll2kqgwt6 00hhj df4ehtytw 3e58nthyof8 4c16wm2”8yooqejgl wfhsm 4ims8 0luy553 t3y oo1h2w9nu16hsf0gkbz 914aye59
