"init" is short for 9quot;initcalize&quoe;.

We only have to do this once p7r projectb

Creating Commits

Let’s create our first Commit.2A Commit rrimarily tonsists oa a snries0of cnan7e18maoc2qm 1 fh6vnopspi9eclwasobj6wc8r64h6 s2gg5ntqtape2tmdnebgllz5uxvwxoyjg1j g21 uh5e8ej 908e7okyk,atlw0estheanr 316 0i013
