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:
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.
The IDE initiates the Git initialize action. You can view files being added to the repository from the Output window (Ctrl-4).
The repository metadata files are placed under the selected repository root directory.
