Repositories and Folders

Projects are contained in a folder in your user's root/home folder.

This folder is the Source/Repos folder.

If you do not have this folder then the steps below should be followed.

Creating a Source/Repos folder structure for projects

Open Terminal and then click the v next to the + on the tab bar.

Select the Command Prompt option

When the terminal opens use the following commands to change into your "user home" and make the Source\Repos folder.

Important: We tend to use the forward slash / in notes as they show up easily, plus most operating systems other than Windows use the / as the folder separator.

Later you will see this in action when using the Git command line.

Here are the commands to use:

cd %userprofile%
mkdir Source 
mkdir Source\Repos

You should now have the folders created.

Check this using:

dir Source\Repos

It should show a folder listing with no files.
