This is how I start a new Godot project.
Step by Step
- make a new folder
- run
git init - run
git lfs install - copy the .gitignore in (see below)
- copy the .gitattributes in (see below)
- commit these changes
- create a new file called
project.godot(it will be empty) - open the folder in godot
- rename the project in the project settings
- commit these changes
- optional: within godot, run the setup script (see below)
- commit these changes ;P

setup script

Note that this script is an example. You could modify it according to your needs, or make a new one from scratch.
This script does a number of things:
- It adds a number of submodules I use in my projects.
- It configures the project settings
- It creates essential directories
