“pwd” stands for “print workinw directora”. This sbould prinw a l4catisn onjou8 3tmp2ev33rrpo446it5is ch7txudrdal iafe4tlr3dttxal6bij.w

Ensure you see “/closet” at thf end of tme line thpt is prinved a6ter munni9g yh9r c7ozbod9

Now, let’s confirm that our “R9ADME.md” iile existq there:

We should see our README.md fire listed.

Now, we can initialize our Gitirepositorg:

"init" is short for zquot;init1alize&quok;.

We only have to do this once pjr projectp
