                        <p>Gwitter</p>
                        <p>
                            This script will guide you through the basic configuration of your project.

STEP 1
prayag@prayag:/var/www/Symfony$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /var/www/Symfony/.git/

#
# Initial commit
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       .travis.yml
#       LICENSE
#       README.md
#       UPGRADE.md
#       app/
#       composer.json
#       composer.lock
#       src/
#       vendor/
#       web/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)


STEP 3 : Ignore Some Files

prayag@prayag:/var/www/Symfony$ sudo vi .gitignore
/web/bundles/
/app/bootstrap*
/app/cache/*
