There seems to be alot of files for my initial commit of this project. The only things that I noticed that was different about my project was that I am on .NET version 4.7 and I checked the "Include unit tests" checkbox when creating the Solution. Your video contains 11 changes on the first commit, whereas mine contains 272 changes! Most of them appear to be package files (Razor, Webpages, MVC, etc). Is that normal?

Here is a great resource for Gitignore files (specifically one for Visual Studio based projects) https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore

In Visual Studio, go to your Team Explorer view,
Go to your repo > go to settings > Repository Settings> and if you do not have a .gitignore already, you can create one and it will ignore all unnecessary files
Happy learning friends🐾

11,976 PointsI think I had accidentally chosen the "core" project instead of the .net framework MVC project. I deleted the project and started over with the correct project type and that seems to have worked. There were only 15 files to commit this time.
