How to Create a Git Repo?

There can be two cases while creating a git repo.

1. Creating a new repo from scratch
2. Creating a repo from an existing directory

To create a new repo from scratch follow the below steps-

• Create a new directory from the menu or by using the command.

    $ mkdir dir_name

This will create a directory in the working folder with the name specified.

• Navigate into the new directory using the command

    $ cd dir_name

• Now to create a repo use the command

    $ git init

     $ git commit

Now, to create a repo for a pre-existing project,

• Navigate into the directory using cd command
• Now to create the repo use the command

    $ git init

• Add the files to the repo using

    $ git add

• Commit the changes using

    $ git commit
