Setting up a git repository in Xcode for a pre-existing project [duplicate]

Answer 1

1. Quit Xcode (not sure if this is necessary but I do it just in case)
2. Run Terminal
3. Get into the project folder directory
4. find .
5. Find the file that says "UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate" and copy the entire filename up to the ./
6. echo "paste the UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate file here" >.gitignore
7. cat .gitignore
8. git init
9. git add .
10. git commit -m "You can type a comment here like now under source control"

You now have a repository and your project is under source control
