Git: Initialize a Git Repository Dialog Box
See Also
The Initialize a Git Repository dialog box enables you to initialize a Git repository either from existing files that are not in source control yet, or from an empty directory.
You can access the Initialize a Git Repository dialog box by choosing either:
- Versioning > Initialize Git Repository from the NetBeans project's
right-click menu.
- Team > Git > Initialize from the
IDE's main menu.
In the Initialize a Git Repository dialog box, specify the path to the intended root of the repository in the Repository root path dialog box or click Browse and browse for the directory required.
Upon clicking OK, the IDE initiates the Git initialize action.
Notes:
- A .git subfolder is created in the folder you specified (your NetBeans project folder by default), which is your Git repository where all the data of your project snapshots are stored. Git starts versioning all files in the folder you specified.
- You can view files being added to the repository from the Output window (Ctrl-4).
