Hello all,

Small thing but asking anyway.

I was looking at the [pijul.org](http://pijul.org) main page and the great “ **SEE IT IN ACTION** ” section at the bottom.  
The first row, for the Pijul column on the right, we list the “ **pijul init** ” command to initialize a pijul repo. All good. However in the git column I don’t see a matching “ **git init** ”.

I thought “that’s odd”. Could this is a git feature I don’t know about, and git will automatically initialize a repo when “git add f.txt” is run? So I tried:

> $ printf ‘A\nB\n’ \> f.txt  
> $ git add f.txt  
> **fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git**

So nope, the commands as listed don’t work.  
Should we add a “git init” in the left column, like we have the “pijul init” in the right column?

Also, is the page code in a repo where I can propose a change?

PS: Thanks for the amazing work on the site, I love it.

Regards,
