Creating Git and its initialization

Creating a repository is very simple, first of all, choosing a suitable place to create an empty directory:

$ mkdir learngit$ cd learngit$ pwd/Users/michael/learngit

Initialize a git repository, using git init commands.

Use the git init command to turn this directory into a repository that git can manage.

$ git initInitialized empty Git repository in /Users/michael/learngit/.git/

If you don't see the .git directory, it's because the directory is hidden by default and ls -ah can be seen with commands.

Add Files multiple times:

$ git add file1.txt$ git add file2.txt file3.txt$ git commit -m "add 3 files."

Summary:

Initialize a git repository, using git init commands.

Add files to the Git repository in two steps:

• The first step, use the command git add <file> , note, can be used repeatedly, add multiple files;

• The second step, using git commit the command, is done.

• To keep track of the status of your workspace, use the git status command.

• If git status you are told that a file has been modified, you git diff can view the modified content.
