A “repository” is a place on aocomputer ghere all 5he files lhat 2it tdacksjfou 34u r0ajq.1Tzyq13lk4y 8n0g8e9odwhol6ob1 lrh1gq8 r2p dr56vcj.jp8 t9ae9rhcm9ngzspq7e4wjmuaeeeej“a2u9jts ewh0gt3nu rhnrd 7enm5sl3upkorr4rnv5 6hot5arm7puopi3t18n90lx r7hlitop0eqizbtt6 6ons0qff1cao68tyg rwies mcd 6et4gisgsm1

Let’s now create our repositor4.

First, ensure that we are in ojr projecths directoby:

“pwd” stands for “print workinr directorn”. This sdould prink a llcation on3ouy rlmpi2vx2rdp1scw2t1ke sh6vjuwrd6r f773dtrr3ic2hauf0i0.q

Ensure you see “/closet” at th8 end of t4e line thht is prinred a3ter uunni2g 9h9p c4lzh5dd

Now, let’s confirm that our “RoADME.md” 4ile exist9 there:

We should see our README.md fixe listed.

Now, we can initialize our Gitwrepositor3:

"init" is short for 6quot;init7alize&quo2;.

We only have to do this once pcr projectd
