GIT INIT

Command: git init

This command creates an empty git repository.

If you're developing on your computer, running this command in the directory of the project you're working on would create an empty git repository there.

This implies that you can start using git within that directory i.e for that project.

This command can also reinitialize an existing git repository.

After intiliazing the repository in your current project, it creates a default local master branch which your project would be on automatically.

This [resource] (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init) is helpful if you want to dig deeper.
