For those who like to hear the sounds of more keystrokes instead of clicks, there's always command-line interface (CLI) mode.
There has been a constant increase in the percentage of people who are quick with keyboard's key strokes, giving more priority to performing operations using keystrokes instead of mouse clicks wherever possible. This is also a main reason why Gmail introduced shortcut keys for almost all of its functions.
To create or initiate the repository using the command-line interface mode you need to do the following:
Open your shell (command prompt in Windows or Terminal/Console in Mac/Linux).
Go to your
Workbench
directory on your desktop using thecd
(change directory) command.Once you are inside the
Workbench
directory typegit init
and hit Enter to complete the initiation process.You should get a status message from Git saying Initialized empty Git repository in your/path/to/Workbench/directory/goes/here.
Ah! The sound of keystrokes...
