I am learning Git via the Pro Git book.
To begin setup it tells to open Terminal and execute git init on the project I want to start revisioning.
Problem is: this command successfully creates a .git hidden folder only if I execute it in my home directory (\Users\<username>).
If I drag the needed folder into Terminal and write git init I get the error: is a directory.
What does that mean?
I have read plenty of guides and no one seems to help me.
How do I setup Git via Terminal in a successful way? The linked questions' instructions didn't help.
git init create a project in that folder you're in. So create a new folder first and change in that folder.
mkdir test
cd test
git init
You can find it in the documentation in the last example:
