How to create a new local repository?

git init

To create a new git repository in your current directory use git init.

Git won't work if your current directory or any of the parent directores doesn't have the .git directory.

Terminal Example
git status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/githint/Projects/new_repo/.git/
