Version your code

Version your code

Now that you created all the code necessary for your basic AWS account setup, make sure your code is versioned in Git.

Create a new Git repository

git init

Ignore the helper files of your editor in the .gitignore file, eg.

echo ".idea/" >> .gitignore
echo ".vscode/" >> .gitignore
git add .gitignore

Add all the relevant files to this repository

git add Makefile log-archive/ master/ playground/ shared-services/ ci/ app-staging/ app-prod/

Also don’t forget to create a README.md in the project.
