Create a new project in git repository windows command line

Here are the steps to create a new project in a Git repository using the Windows Command Line:

Step 1: Open the Command Line

Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell on your Windows machine. You can do this by:

• Pressing the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, typing cmd, and pressing Enter.
• Right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)".
• Using the PowerShell shortcut (usually found in the Start menu).

Step 2: Navigate to the Directory where you want to create the project

Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to create your new project. For example:

cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\Projects

Replace YourUsername with your actual Windows username.

Step 3: Initialize a new Git repository

Use the git init command to initialize a new Git repository in the current directory:

git init

This will create a new directory called .git in your current directory, which will contain the Git repository.

Step 4: Create a new directory for your project

Use the mkdir command to create a new directory for your project:

mkdir myproject

Replace myproject with the name you want to give your project.

Step 5: Move into the new project directory

Use the cd command to move into the new project directory:

cd myproject

Step 6: Create your project files

Create the files and directories for your project. For example, you can create a README.md file and a src directory:

echo "# My Project" > README.md
mkdir src

Step 7: Add the files to the Git repository

Use the git add command to add the files to the Git repository:

git add.

The dot (.) refers to the current directory and all its contents.

Step 8: Commit the changes

Use the git commit command to commit the changes:

git commit -m "Initial commit"

The -m option allows you to specify a commit message.

That's it! You have now created a new project in a Git repository using the Windows Command Line.
