I have a folder of source code or documents on my computer and I want to use version control to manage it

To start using version control for a project folder, you need to initialise a repository there.

1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open

2. Select “File folder” as the thing you want to open

3. Browse to your folder

4. Click OK*

A new repository will be created, stowed into the working folder you selected. It will have an empty history, until you add and commit some files.
