After cloning a GIT repository to a local working directory, the
.git
subdirectory is created containing the necessary GIT metadata. The metadata includes subdirectories for objects, refs, and
template files. In addition, a
HEAD
file is also created, which points to the currently checked out commit.
Click the
GIT Init
button, and then select a path where the repository should be initialized. The location may be the same as the project or
the parent folder. The
Commit changes
window opens.
