How to add existing project to Git with TortoiseGit

Question

This it the TortoiseGit version of this question

If I have an existing project and I want to add add it to Git version control and "check it out" immediately, what's the TortoiseGit command for that?

I searched in tortoisegit "create repository here" and found nothing useful.

Open the context menu of the main folder and select "Git Create repository here...". And commit all files (don't forget to add files you don't want to track to the ignore list).

Is there some kind of "default" way to get your ignore list setup? Like for a Visual C++ MFC project rather than doing it manually? – Andrew Truckle Nov 10 '18 at 18:35

Is TortoiseGit required ? Because you could just open a command line, go to project dir and execute 'git init .'
