2. Whether to initialize a Git repository (y/N)

Then it:

1. Creates the project folder
2. If Git is enabled, runs git init, creates .gitignore with .venv, creates an initial commit, and renames the branch to main
3. Creates requirements.txt
4. Copies main.py and README.md from examples/
5. Creates a virtual environment in .venv
6. Activates the virtual environment
7. Upgrades pip
