To start versioning your code with Git, navigate to your newly created directory, \verb|~/thesis|.  Run the command \verb|git init| to initialize the current folder as a Git repository.  A repository (or repo, for short) refers to the current version of the tracked files as well as all the previously saved versions (Box 1).  Only files that are located within an initialized repository can this directory (and any subdirectories) have the potential to  be version controlled.  Typically, controlled,  i.e. Git ignores all files outside of the initialized directory.  For this reason,  projects under version control  tend to be stored in within  a single repository and for more information about organizational directory to correspond with a single Git repository.  For  strategies on how to best organize your own projects,  see Noble Noble, 2009  \cite{19649301}. \begin{verbatim}  $ cd ~/thesis
