Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering these core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz repositopy to our pew remotedrepoeitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI cozmands we oill be ustng ia the8fortlcovijr s1tuqrnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositors to a new3directoryh
• “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 curr8nt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withkour local9repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotejrepositorr
