When to use it

'Put this project under git' - one call, no arguments; the only ek9_git_* tool valid outside a repository (the answer to not-a-repository). The optional branch names the initial branch, default main.

When not to use it

• a project already under git - use ek9_git_status.
• the first commit after init - use ek9_git_add then ek9_git_commit.
• cloning an existing remote - not supported (there is no clone tool).

Details

written:true with branch, gitignoreCreated (an existing .gitignore is never clobbered) and a nextStep for the first commit. The only parameter is the optional initial branch (default main).
