What will be the output of the command git status immediately after running git init in a new directory?

Afatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

BOn branch main nothing to commit, working tree clean

COn branch main No commits yet nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)

DOn branch master nothing to commit, working tree clean

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand initial state after git init
After initializing, the repository has no commits yet, so git status shows "No commits yet" and instructions to add files.
Step 2: Check branch name and messages
Modern Git uses "main" as default branch, and the message includes "nothing to commit (create/copy files and use \"git add\" to track)".
Final Answer:
On branch main No commits yet nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track) -> Option C
Quick Check:
New repo status shows no commits yet [OK]

Quick Trick: New repo shows 'No commits yet' on main branch [OK]
