Editing Git Workflow (section)

===Creating the Git repos===
* Navigate to the site's root directory.
* Create a Git repository.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ git init
</syntaxhighlight>

* Make a .gitignore file (images, wordpress install files, etc.)
: Copy from an existing web project and modify as necessary.
* Set username and email (necessary for each repo)
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ git config --global user.name "Damien Barchowsky"
$ git config --global user.email "dbarchowsky@gmail.com"
</syntaxhighlight>

* Add existing files to Git repo, confirm the list of files, and commit the changes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ git add .
$ git status -s
$ git commit -m "Initial version"
</syntaxhighlight>

* Clone the repo to 'origin'
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ cd /n/git/base_dir
$ git clone /m/base_dir/repo_dir
</syntaxhighlight>
