Now that we have the project in a good shape, it's time to add it to git. Open a new terminal and cd to the project folder. Run git init . to initialize a new repository in the folder we're developing our application in.

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/coderetreat/.git/

git has a handy command, git status, that will tell you the current state of your project. You can run this any time without any consequence, just to check what git thinks has changed.

Now git add . will add all files in the folder to the "stage". We can commit this stage to git by running git commit -m "Add boilerplate with a failing testcase", where the string is the commit message in which we describe what we changed.

🎉 Congrats, you just set up your project with a failing test-case and you're all set for the coderetreat!
