What is a repository?
A repository is a directory in which all files are managed by Git. Git can track every modification or deletion of a file so that it can be traced at any time in history or "restored" at any future point.
So, creating a repository is very simple. First, select a suitable place and create an empty directory:
$ mkdir learngit
$ cd learngit
$ pwd
/Users/michael/learngit
The PWD command is used to display the current directory.
On my Mac, the repository is located at /Users/ Michael/Learngit.
If you are using Windows, make sure that the directory names (including the parent directory) do not contain Chinese to avoid all sorts of confusing issues.
Step 2: Turn this directory into a repository that git can manage with the git init command:
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/michael/learngit/.git/
Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git/Git
I destroyed the Git repository.
If you don't see the.git directory, it's because it's hidden by default and can be seen with the ls-ah command.
