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.
