[BUG] pyflyte not respecting .gitignore in pyflyte init

[zeryx]

Describe the bug

pyflyte init generates a new flyte project with a .gitignore. pyflyte respects .gitignores and .dockerignores, which by default contain venv and .venv, however it only respects the .gitignore if the cwd is a git project which by default it isn't.

Expected behavior

I would expect that if I use a venv to manage my local, non-git managed flyte project I'm not accidentally bundling my venv (which could be multiple GB in size) into my flyte tar.gz object.

Additional context to reproduce

pyflyte init foo cd foo python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install ..... pyflyte register workflows

To decrease the chances of hitting this, what if we made the directory created by pyflyte init a git repo by default? Need to verify what happens if the user doesn't have git installed locally.
