Initializes a new git repository, setting up all the configuration files needed by git.

• Use git init to initialize an empty repository in the current directory.
• Alternatively, use git init [<directory>] to initialize the repository in the specified <directory>.
• Note: Running git init in an existing repository is safe.
• Note: You only need to run git init once per repository.

git init [<directory>]

cd ~/my_project
git init # Initializes a repo in ~/my_project

cd ~
git init my_project # Initializes a repo in ~/my_project
