📂 git init = Start Version Control

New project? git init creates .git folder. Start tracking changes. Essential for any project.

📝 Git Init

# Initialize repository
git init

# Initialize in specific directory
git init my-project

# Initialize with default branch name
git init --initial-branch=main

# Initialize bare repository (for server)
git init --bare

# After init:
# - .git folder created
# - Repository is ready

# First steps after init:
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

# Add remote (optional)
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
git push -u origin main

🎯 Common Workflow

1. Create project folder
   mkdir my-project
   cd my-project

2. Initialize Git
   git init

3. Create .gitignore
   echo "node_modules/" > .gitignore
   echo ".env" >> .gitignore

4. Add files
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"

5. Add remote (GitHub)
   git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
   git push -u origin main

💡 Tips

• Always init before adding files
• Create .gitignore before first commit
• Use main as default branch
• Initial commit sets base state
