And where did you create the repository, then (relative to the project folder)?
The repository will be created in the folder specified in the field and git will start versioning all files under that folder (not any other files tree). I guess the git tutorial and F1 topics are a bit misleading. alyona: can we modify them? I'll instruct you on Monday Fixed in javahelp as follows: 1. Git: Initializing A .git subfolder is created in the folder you specified in step 2 (your NetBeans project folder by default), which is your Git repository where all the data of your project snapshots are stored. Git starts versioning all files in the folder you specified. You can view files being added to the repository from the Output window (Ctrl-4). 2. Git: Initialize a Git Repository Dialog Box Notes: A .git subfolder is created in the folder you specified (your NetBeans project folder by default), which is your Git repository where all the data of your project snapshots are stored. Git starts versioning all files in the folder you specified. You can view files being added to the repository from the Output window (Ctrl-4). Will be fixed in the tutorial by FCS as follows: "A .git subfolder is created in the folder you specified in step 3 above (your NetBeans project folder by default), which is your Git repository where all the data of your project snapshots are stored. Git starts versioning all files in the folder you specified." |

In the context menu, choose Versioning > Initialize Git Repository (alternatively, in the main menu, choose Team > Git > Initialize). Plugins dialog box ### Specify the path to the repository you are going to store your versioned files in the Initialize a Git Repository dialog box or click Browse and browse for the directory required. Click OK. The Git repository is created. You can open Window > Output > Output to view the IDE's report about the progress of the repository creation under your local working directory. Output window A .git subfolder is created in your NetBeans project folder, which is your Git repository where all the data of your project snapshots are stored. In other words, an existing NetBeans directory is turned into a Git repository. All the project files are marked Added in your Working Tree. To view a file status, place the cursor over the file name in the Projects window. The status of the file in the Working Tree displays in green to the right of the slash like shown in the following picture." I marked a special step with ### Follow these instructions two times. at ### the path defaults to your project's path a) confirm --> everything works as described in the following steps b) choose a different location for your repository Neither will the files marked as "added" nor will the context menue contain a "Git" menu
