git init

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

git init is the command used to create a brand-new Git repository. You can run it inside a new project folder or an existing one. It creates a hidden .git subfolder, and that's where Git stores all the data it needs.

bash

# 1. Create a new directory and navigate into it
mkdir my-project
cd my-project

# 2. Initialize a new Git repository
git init

You should see

Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/my-project/.git/
