Creating .git file on windows

Question

I am working on school project and they require .git file included.

I am running currently windows. I have used git app to commit my repositary on github.

How can i create a .git file? I fail to find any solution for this.

Is there a way how to do so on windows?

If your project is a Git repository then it has a `.git` already. It is a directory, not a file, and I think by default it is marked 'hidden' on Windows — CodingWithSpike, Jun 21 '16 at 12:26

Check the repo folder you committed, using show hidden files on windows explorer, there should already be a .git folder

Try this:

      cd my_source_dir
      git init
      git add .
      git commit -m "initial commit"

And now you can access it from

     git clone /path/to/my_source_dir new_tree_name

.git files are automatically generated, but they are hidden. – Sachin Bahal Jun 21 '16 at 12:27
