You just need to add a flag to the `ls` command that will ask it to show hidden folders, and that’s the `-laf` flag. With a bit of magic, though, we can see it ourselves. git stores the metadata and object database for the. git, your project is a local project and not a git project, that means you cannot perform any git operations. That period in front of the `.git` folder means that it’s actually a hidden folder, so it won’t show up in your Finder or Explorer window and is typically only meant for scripts and OS-level commands to access. git folder is the directory which is created when you do git init (in case of a new project) or you do git clone (in case of pulling a project from somewhere else). If `ls` and seeing your project’s folders isn’t enough for you, there’s another technique to be even more sure that you’re in the right place. The other way is to initialize a new Git repository using the `git init` command to set up version tracking in a new folder.Įither way, that `.git` folder I mentioned should exist in the repository’s root (top-most folder). It then copies the data from the existing repository.
Internally, git clone first calls git init to create a new repository. You can always rename your target dir or move it around as you wish (one level up for example) - git does not really care, as long as.
git subdirectory to the current directory and makes it possible to start recording revisions of the project. git clone I want to check this directory into git in place. Transform the current directory into a Git repository.
One way is to run the `git clone` command and clone a repository from an existing repository (whether that repository exists locally on your computer or on a server running Git such as ). I have a non-empty directory (eg /etc/something) with files that cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted. Generally speaking, you can get a Git repository locally in one of two ways.
