Obviously you can search for the documentation yourself, but this does illustrate a different way of thinking.
Question : what git commands do I need to start a new project
Answer (Bing Copilot):
To start a new project with Git, you can follow these steps:
```markdown
1. **Create a new directory** for your project:
```
mkdir my_project
cd my_project
```
2. **Initialize a new Git repository** in your project directory:
```
git init
```
3. **Create a new file** or **add existing files** to the project directory.
4. **Add the files** to the Git staging area:
```
git add .
```
The `.` adds all new and modified files to the staging area.
5. **Commit the files** to the Git repository:
```
git commit -m "Initial commit"
```
The `-m` flag lets you add a commit message inline.
6. **Check the status** of your Git repository:
```
git status
```
This will show you the state of your working directory versus the repository.
7. If you want to **push your project to a remote repository** (like GitHub), you would first create a new repository on GitHub, then **add the remote repository** to your local Git repository:
```
git remote add origin <your-github-repo-url>
```
8. Finally, **push your local repository** to the remote repository:
```
git push -u origin master
```
This pushes your commits to the `master` branch of the remote repository.
```
Remember to replace `<your-github-repo-url>` with the actual URL of your GitHub repository. Happy coding! 😊
