-
Create a new directory in your environment with the name "new-project".
Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the location where you want to create the "new-project" directory. Then, use the
mkdir
command to create the directory:bash
mkdir new-project
-
Navigate to the "new-project" directory.
Change your working directory to "new-project" using the
cd
command:bash
cd new-project
-
Initialize a new public Git repository inside the "new-project" directory.
Use the
git init
command to create a new Git repository in the "new-project" directory:bash
git init
This initializes an empty Git repository in the "new-project" directory.
-
Create a new file named "README.md" and add some initial text to it.
You can create the "README.md" file using a text editor or the
touch
command (on Unix-based systems) and then edit it with a text editor:bash
touch README.md
Open the "README.md" file in a text editor and add some initial text. For example:
markdown
# Welcome to My New Project This is the starting point for my new project.
-
Stage the "README.md" file for commit.
Use the
git add
command to stage the changes you made to the "README.md" file:bash
git add README.md
-
Commit the changes to the repository with the commit message "init".
Now, commit the staged changes with a meaningful commit message. In this case, let's use "init" as the message:
bash
git commit -m "init"
This creates your initial commit with the "README.md" file.
-
Create a new branch with the name "development" and switch to it.
To create a new branch and switch to it, use the
git checkout -b
command:bash
git checkout -b development
You have now created a new branch named "development" and switched to it. You can start working on this branch for your project's development.
