Create a git repository for new prototypes (when git is present)

[nataliecarey]

Ticket: #1670

This will make the initial commit as the current user if they have set up a email address etc. in git, if they haven't set that up it will be committed as the Prototype Kit with the team email address - this is mostly for CI but it would also be useful for a user who has just set up a new computer and hasn't set up git properly yet.

As each of the test clients have git installed I have manually tested on an Ubuntu VM without git. It works.

Thanks @nataliecarey. I think this needs an entry in the changelog?

[nataliecarey]

Thanks for the reminder @lfdebrux. Updated.

@nataliecarey would be good to go through the user experience of this with you to review

Some notes as I wasn't able to review before the merge happened:

• the commit here is by Your Name <you@example.com> - this seems like a mistake?
• there's a typo meaningulLines
• The message should be just 'Create prototype' (not 'kit') to match our documentation, and I think Git practice is to have 'Create' rather than 'Created'? https://stackoverflow.com/a/3580764
• this creates a master branch by default - should we change it to main?

we should also have a look at updating our git guidance
