Which of the following Git commands creates a new, empty Git repository?

`git clone` copies an existing remote repository into a new local directory.

`git fork` is a GitHub/GitLab specific operation to create a server-side copy of a repository, not a standard Git command-line operation for creating a new local repo.

`git pull` fetches changes from a remote repository and integrates them into the current branch.

The `git init` command creates a new, empty Git repository in the current directory, setting up the necessary `.git` subdirectory and initial files for version control.
