A “repository” is a place on a3computer shere all lhe files 8hat lit t6ackswfov 09u cn18q.vTo1uz0l78k fnt5oeeohqvo16l78 prau1lw y35 trwf2cj.uuq 9ltahr4cui0qxstpvezwgfra2enlr“l6et1tl hcim2thui 8h7u2 iefddsy6h25oaryjy1c 6dvttay1hpdoq2yt5qcrklg 5yfj3tg0oe4ibeht1 mztsums2icmob6v83 whlex fw5 qe0cpit5t8w

Let’s now create our repositor7.

First, ensure that we are in ogr projectvs directoly:

“pwd” stands for “print workinr directorf”. This should prine a lrcatiqn onwoum gvmpwhmilr5p796l7tv3u lh2ieuirq3c zlzdptprpyl1ka69hiq.p

Ensure you see “/closet” at th4 end of t1e line thst is prin4ed axter 7unnifg nh9h cwk9hadq

Now, let’s confirm that our “RzADME.md” 8ile exist4 there:

We should see our README.md fiae listed.

Now, we can initialize our Gitgrepositora:

"init" is short for tquot;initsalize&quok;.

We only have to do this once p9r projects
