title: Why is a .git folder automatically being created when creating a react app?
body: <p>I don't understand why a <code>.git</code> folder is automatically created when I do create-react-app in the terminal. </p>
  
  <p>The <code>.gitignore</code> folder isn't there but a <code>.git</code> folder is.<br>
  Does anyone know why? Here's a picture of the folder</p>
