I am trying to upload an Github project and idk how so I tried a video, but the result is:
That is:
PS C:\Users\BRQL\Documents\Github vscode> git.init
git.init: The term 'git.init' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

The proper command is git init .
, not git.init
The latter syntax is not recognized by git
.
Note that is is best to git init .
, meaning to initialize a new Git repository in the current local folder for a project folder.
Your current folder is Github vscode
(from C:\Users\BRQL\Documents\Github vscode
).
Unless your project is to develop VSCode itself, it is better to come up with an actual project name (here, for instance, "myProject"), and type instead:
git init myProject
That will create a C:\Users\BRQL\Documents\Github vscode\myProject
in which you can start add/commit files.
As an alternative, you can also use (for local projects linked to a GitHub repository), the GitHub CLI gh
command (after installation and authentication).
Specifically: gh repo create
mkdir myProject
cd myProject
# create a new remote repository and clone it locally
gh repo create myProject --public --clone

You need to install git first you can download from https://git-scm.com/downloads and
git .init
is not a git command.
git initializing commant is
git init
you can check the other commants of git from http://guides.beanstalkapp.com/version-control/common-git-commands.html

The easies way for a beginner to get a new Github project working on there local machine is to create it on Github first and then clone
the repository with
git clone url-of-repo
You then get a working repository copy in a subdirectory with the name of the project (as given when created).
