This sounds really useful. I'd like to try to get comfortable with git
on a project of my own, something that doesn't have an online repo. How
do I create a local git version of a directory on my machine? I tried
creating a new directory to house the new git repo and then doing
git-clone ~/Documents/DirectoryName/
and it looked like it was starting to do it, initializing empty
repository and so forth, but then it said it couldn't change directory
to /home/jon/Documents/DirectoryName/ and it aborted.
Do you know how to do this? Thanks Maximilian,
Jon
