With a dot after "git init" ?
On Linux, "man git init" contains the following snippet:
======================================================================
EXAMPLES
Start a new Git repository for an existing code base
$ cd /path/to/my/codebase
$ git init (1)
$ git add . (2)
$ git commit (3)
1. Create a /path/to/my/codebase/.git directory.
2. Add all existing files to the index.
3. Record the pristine state as the first commit in the
history.
======================================================================
A duckduckgo search on "git tutorial" returns tons of links, among them
https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial
git is a beast, but for your own projects you can keep the workflow
simple. (I prefer mercurial myself... https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ )
