# The latest version of git available for ubuntu without needing to mess with package repositories is git version 2.25.1 which does not yet support the --initial-branch option.

git init --initial-branch=main
# -> error: unknown option `initial-branch=main'


# Break the git init --initial-branch=main out into two commands

cd existing_folder
git init
git checkout -b  main
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:path/to/project.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main
