Project Overview

You are about to start version-controlling a tiny website project called Coddy Cookbook. By the end of this chapter the project folder will be a real Git repo with a clean history of the work.

The starting folder contains:

• index.html: the home page
• style.css: a small stylesheet
• recipes/pasta.md: one recipe
• build.log: a build artifact you do not want in version control

Across the next few lessons you will:

1. Initialize the repo and add a .gitignore
2. Make the first commit with the initial site
3. Add a second recipe in a new commit
4. Inspect the history to confirm everything is in place

This first lesson is a warm-up. List every visible file so you know what you are working with.
