 * Could not create initial commit -> On branch master Initial commit Untracked 
   files: .gitignore wc-logs/ wp-content/ nothing added to commit but untracked 
   files present
 * Any suggestions?
 * Am I supposed to initialize the repo and add the files manually on the command
   line or something?
