Where does Git store files?

Question

I just ran the following commands on my Ruby on Rails project:

git init
git add .
git commit -a -m \'Initial\'

Where does Git actually stor

Answer 1

If you are on an English Windows machine, Git's default storage path will be C:\Documents and Settings\< current_user>\, because on Windows the default Git local settings resides at C:\Documents and Settings\< current_user>\.git and so Git creates a separate folder for each repo/clone at C:\Documents and Settings\< current_user>\ and there are all the directories of cloned project.

For example, if you install Symfony 2 with

git clone git://github.com/symfony/symfony.git

the Symfony directory and file will be at

C:\Documents and Settings\< current_user>\symfony\
