I'm be using DreamCompute as my OpenStack provider, but there are dozens to choose from. I assume you already have Ansible and the OpenStack CLI tools installed.
With the proliferation of OpenStack public clouds offering free and intro tiers, it's becoming very easy to effectively run a simple application for free or nearly free. Also with the emergence of Ansible, you don't need to learn and deploy complicated tools to do configuration management.

Do you need a refresher on git? Go through Codecademy's git course.
Using your terminal/command line, get inside the folder where your project files are kept:
cd /path/to/my/codebase.
→ You cannot do this simply by opening the folder normally, you must do this with the command line/terminal.

Check if git is already initialized: git status
