title: Creating a New Git Repo from existing files on Windows
body: <p>I'm trying to use Git on my local Windows machine only.  I have an existing project that I want to move into Git.  I'm not quite sure how I should structure the workflow.  Should I make that existing project folder the main repo for my project and then create other branches off of that?  Or should I create one central location for all Git repos, copy my existing project files there as the main repo, then just check out my project from the central repo into a new folder?</p>
  
  <p>A similarly worded question would be, should there be one central Git folder where all of your repos live or should there be main repos (trunks?) scattered around per project?</p>
  
  <p>I guess this question only makes sense when running and using Git locally.  When using it against a true remote repo, then it seems to makes more sense.</p>
