title: Version control: from zip to git
body: <p>I have three zipped folders named [1,2,3] each contains the same project 1 being the earliest and 3 being the most current. I am looking for a way to merge all of these into 3 git commits and the 3 most commit be the folders contents.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose I can do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Unzip 1.</li>
  <li>Take the contents from 1 place it into a new folder.</li>
  <li><code>git init</code></li>
  <li><code>git add -A</code></li>
  <li><code>git commit -m "first commit</code></li>
  <li>Unzip 2 </li>
  <li>replace the contents from the new folder with contents from 2</li>
  <li><code>git add -A</code></li>
  <li><code>git commit -m "second commit</code></li>
  <li>Unzip 2</li>
  <li>replace the contents from the new folder with contents from 3</li>
  <li><code>git add -A</code></li>
  <li><code>git commit -m "third commit</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Could anyone tell me if this is the best way to do this?</p>
