From: Kaartic Sivaraam To: git@vger.kernel.org Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2017 19:34:12 +0530 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-15" X-Mailer: Evolution 3.22.6-1 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: git-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org Hello all, I noticed a weird output by git when trying to run 'git status' on a newly initialized git repository. It prints the following, > On branch master > > Initial commit > > nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track) What's that "Initial commit" supposed to mean? -- Regards, Kaartic Sivaraam
