-    Something.
+    <p>
+    In order to do anything in Git, you have to have a Git repository.  This
+    is where Git stores the data for the snapshots you are saving.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    There are two main ways to get a Git repository.  One way is to simply
+    initialize a new one from an existing directory, such as a new project or
+    a project new to source control.  The second way is to clone one from a
+    public Git repository, as you would do if you wanted a copy or wanted to
+    work with someone on a project.  We will cover both of these here.

+
+  <div class="block">
+    To create a repository from an existing directory of files, you can
+    simply run <code>git init</code> in that directory.  For example,
+    let's say we have a directory with a few files in it, like this:
+
+<pre>
+$ cd konichiwa
+$ ls
+README   hello.rb
+</pre>
+
+    This is a project where we are writing examples of the "Hello World"
+    program in every language.  So far, we just have Ruby, but hey, it's
+    a start.  To start version controlling this with Git, we can simply
+    run <code>git init</code>.
+
+<pre>
+$ git init
+Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/konichiwa/.git/
+</pre>
+
+    Now you can see that there is a <code>.git</code> subdirectory in your
+    project.  This is your Git repository where all the data of your
+    project snapshots are stored.
+
+<pre>
+$ ls -a
+.        ..       .git     README   hello.rb
+</pre>
+
+    Congratulations, you now have a skeleton Git repository and can start
+    snapshotting your project.

+    <p>
+    If you need to collaborate with someone on a project, or if you want to
+    get a copy of a project so you can look at or use the code, you will
+    clone it.  You simply run the <code>git clone [url]</code> command with 
+    the URL of the project you want to copy.
+    </p>
+
+<pre> [example] </pre>
+
+    <p>
+    This will copy the entire history of that project so you have it locally
+    and it will give you a working directory of the main branch of that project
+    so you can look at the code or start editing it.  If you change into the
+    new directory, you can see the <code>.git</code> subdirectory - that is
+    where all the project data is.
+    </p>
+
+<pre> [example] </pre>
+
+    <p>
+    By default, Git will create a directory that is the same name as the 
+    project in the URL you give it - basically whatever is after the last slash
+    of the URL.  If you want something different, you can just put it at the
+    end of the command, after the URL.
