The first step is to create a new project directory. For this guide, we'll name it myRestApi:

mkdir myRestApi
cd myRestApi

Next, set the Python version to the latest available using asdf, and initialize the Git repository:

asdf install python latest \
  && asdf local python latest

echo "__pycache__/" >> .gitignore

git init
git add -A .
git commit -m "First commit"
