Initialize a Repository
- The first time we want to add a file to a git repository, we have to initialize a new empty repository.
git init
.git
subdirectory
- A new subdirectory
.git
is created and by default it is hidden because you're not supposed to touch it. - This is where Git stores information about our project history.
- If you corrupt or remove this directory, you will lose your project history.
