"ls -l" will not show it, as it's a hidden directory, you need to use 
"ls -la", where the "a" is all.

This shows you created the git repository, before you can commit 
something, you need to add the files you want to track.

git add index.php includes readme.txt style.css

and then you can make the commit.

Remember I told earlier in this thread that the 'git commit -m 
"something" -a' only works on files you already are tracking of, in an 
empty git repository you ain't tracking anything, those you need to add 
files with "git add".
