That should be covered with a proper .gitignore. I think it would be better to mention that instead of a step that just states WHAT but doesn't explain WHY, nor HOW.
So maybe a note or warning "make sure to have properly set your .gitignore before adding the project" with a link to GitHub's page about .gitignore (i.e. https://docs.github.com/en/github/using-git/ignoring-files).
