Create a Git playground

Not an "intermediate" topic, but we'll need a Git repo to experiment in.

Run commands to

• create a new Git repo
• make a first commit

Toggle to reveal my solution

cd my-development-directory
mkdir intermediate-git
cd intermediate-git
git init
git commit --allow-emtpy -m "initial (empty)"

The first commit doesn't have to be empty. This or many other solutions would work too:

touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit

Side Adventure

If that "git commit --allow-empty for the first commit" workflow is new to you, there are a lot of blog posts and StackOverflow answers which talk about it.
