Key Concepts & Tips

  • Creates a .git folder that holds all repository metadata
  • Starts tracking changes in the current directory
  • Does not stage or commit any files automatically

Common Usage Scenarios

Starting fresh
git init
Turn an existing folder into a Git repository.
Shared settings
git init --initial-branch=main
Begin with a main branch instead of master for consistency.

⚠️ Potential Pitfalls

  • Running inside another repo creates nested repos that are hard to manage.
