Question How can I populate a git-repository with the content in PLESK

[Kurt Ludikovsky]

I have a already working homepage/site, which I would like to update from now on using git on a local repository.

So far I have started with "Using a local repository on your workstation".

But a pull request on the local machine said that there is an empty repository.
A git add on the server did also not show any effects.

My questions:

1) What Do I need to do to populate the server-side-repository with my running system, so that I can pull it down to my development workstation.

2) How can I restrict the files to include? Is a .gitignore-file sufficient, and where does it need to reside?
