And other terminology
A Git repository is roughly
equivalent to a project folder.
One project, one repository.
A repository contains files,
and history about those files.
A repository can be created from the command line,
by running git init inside your project folder.
Running git init creates a hidden
folder called .git inside your project.
The hidden .git folder contains files which track
your project’s status, changes, and other git-related stuff.
Deleting the hidden .git file will erase your
git history, making your folder “normal” again.
You can only run git commands in a folder
where there is an existing git repository.
That is, you have to git init
before you can use Git for a project!
A repository usually has a README
A repository usually has a .gitignore
A repository generally has a license
Great! Now you have some idea what a Git repository is.
