Creating Your First Git Repository

Learn how to create your first Git repository from scratch, initialize version control, and prepare your project for tracking changes.

Creating Your First Git Repository

Now that you know what Git is and why it's important, it's time to create your first Git repository. This lesson walks you through initializing a repository, checking its status, and understanding the basic directory structure Git creates.

Step 1: Create a Project Directory

Start by creating a folder for your project. This will hold all your files and Git tracking data.

mkdir ~/git-tutorials/first-project
cd ~/git-tutorials/first-project

Step 2: Initialize the Git Repository

Run the following command to start tracking this directory with Git:

git init

This creates a hidden .git directory where Git stores all version control information.

Step 3: Check Repository Status

Use git status to see the current state of your repository:

git status

Since you haven't added any files yet, Git will show that there are no commits and no tracked files.

Summary

You've successfully created your first Git repository! Next, you'll learn how to add files and start committing your work.

In our Previous article about sending TRC-20 Usdt we explained a little about the Tron network itself, why it is essential and how to send TRC-20 Usdt on Tron network. To make this happen, we first created an Account on shasta testnet. Then we asked for some testnet usdt from the Tron testnet faucet on Tron Discord. Finally transferred our Usdt using the Tronweb JavaScript library. In this tutorial, we will create an account on nile testnet (you can do the same for shasta testnet). Ask for some nile test Tron tokens from the very same faucet we got our shasta Usdt test tokens and then transfer them to another account. Notice that you can do the same on the mainnet, with the difference that there is no faucet and you need to buy the real TRX tokens from an exchange or wallet. Introduction to Tronix (TRX) token?
