@section Create a repository
A repository is a directory under source control,
normally your project you are working on.
Create an empty directory and @command{cd} into it:
@example
mkdir MY_PROJECT
cd MY_PROJECT
@end example
When you are inside the directory for the repository
issus the git command to initialise the repository:
@example
git init
@end example
This command creates a directory namend @file{.git}
inside the directory with all data git requires to
operate on the repository.
The next thing you want to do is to create a
@file{.gitignore} file, it is used to keep track
of with files that should be be included in the
repository, unless overruled with a forced staging.
A good base @file{.gitignore} content you probably
always want to use is:
@example
_/
# It is a good idea to allow the directory _ to
# contain temporary file you do not whant to stage.
.*
# Generally you probably do not want to include
# hidden files.
!.git*
# But you do generally want to include files
starting with .git, such as .gitignore.
\#*\#
*~
*.bak
# And you do not want to include backup files.
@end example
Git parses @file{.gitignore} with wildcards,
@code{#} for comments and @code{!} for inclusion
rather than exclusion, latter entires override
earlier entries.
When you have create you @file{.gitignore} you
are ready to stage it and make your first commit:
@example
git add .gitignore
git commit -n 'first commit'
@end example
