 ## Next Steps
 
+One final thing you'll want to do is either delete the `.git` directory and make your own git like this:
+
+```shell
+# make sure you are in the my-project directory
+pwd
+# then remove .git and make your own
+rm -rf .git
+git init .
+```
+
+I suggest you also checkout the full `bandolier-template` for tracking updates like this:
+
+```shell
+# get out of your my-project directory if cd .. doesn't
+cd ..
+npx bando-up create --keep-git bandolier-template
+```
+
+If you create other projects later then drop the `--keep-git` so you don't have to do this step.
