Creating a new Git repository

• When you start a new project you run the command git init within your projects root folder. This creates an empty git repository.

Hint, you can change directories by typing cd then drag the folder that you want to change to into the terminal

• A repository is a kind of database where your project is stored. Changes made to your project are stored in this database.

Git will now be tracking all changes within your project folder
