How should chrono-lab be initialized so it can store repository-local Git configuration?
chrono-lab
Create an empty .git text file inside chrono-lab.
.git
Set a local user name in any ordinary directory without initializing Git.
Create ~/project/chrono-lab, enter it, and run git init.
~/project/chrono-lab
git init
Run git init in ~/project and then create chrono-lab.
~/project
