Chris@496 4
Chris@499 5 You can initialise a repository in an empty folder, in order to start
Chris@499 6 using version control for a new project:
Chris@496 7
Chris@496 8 *1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open*
Chris@496 9
Chris@498 10 #openfolder50
Chris@496 11
Chris@498 12 *2. Select "File folder" as the thing you want to open*
Chris@496 13
Chris@498 14 *3. Make a new folder in the file dialog and browse to it*
Chris@496 15
Chris@496 16 *4. Click OK*
Chris@496 17
Chris@498 18 A new repository will be created, stowed into the empty working folder
Chris@498 19 you selected. At first, it will have an empty history. You can then
Chris@499 20 start to add files and commit changes to your files.
Chris@498 21
Chris@498 22 * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg init*
