git init not initializing git repo in directory
I am just trying to run the git init command, with a fresh copy of git installed; as of writing this version git version 2.47.1.windows.2, and their is not .git directory in the main directory. I run the command again and get this A screen snippet of my command line showing the git repo is being "Reinitialize", but actual is never.
Is any else experiencing this problem, what am I doing wrong as it has been about 9 months since I lasted used git, and git init is usually the very first command to be ran. What am I doing wrong.
Solution
Files and folders starting with a dot are hidden. This might explain you don't see the .git folder.
- Display hidden files and folders using command prompt:
dir /a - Display hidden files and folders using bash:
ls -a
Using the git status command also reveals the git repository is actually present.
