Git Tidbits as Q/A

To create a private Git repository in a specific folder, follow these
steps:

1. **Navigate to the folder**:
   ```sh
   cd /path/to/your/folder
   ```

2. **Initialize the Git repository**:
   ```sh
   git init
   ```

3. **Add your files to the repository**:
   ```sh
   git add .
   ```

4. **Commit the files**:
   ```sh
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   ```

5. **Host your private repository**:
   - If you want to host it locally, you're done. To share it,
     consider setting up a SSH server.
   - If you want to host it remotely (e.g., GitHub, GitLab):
     - Create a new private repository on the hosting site.
     - Add the remote repository URL:
       ```sh
       git remote add origin <remote_repository_URL>
       ```
     - Push your local repository to the remote one:
       ```sh
       git push -u origin master
       ```

Note that on popular hosting services like GitHub, GitLab, and
Bitbucket, you can create private repositories directly through their
web interfaces.
