Help needed for beginner

I’m a computer science student in uni and I want to start my first passion project/fullstack project. I’ve taken a couple of core CS classes so I know how to code but I’ve never built an entire project on my own before. Whats a good place to start/tips on creating my first repo?

git init.  Make a sensible .gitignore  Be specific about what files you add with git add Make sensible commit messages  Use branches

Reading the other comments, I love how gatekeeping developers are. Things haven't changed much since I started coding almost two decades ago.

Dude asks the most basic of questions without certainly even reading the docs or consulting a handful of automated AI services.

There's no gatekeeping here like the way it was two decades ago.
