I know there's an option to make a local repository for your project when you first create it, but is there an option create a repository after you've created your project?

Sure, just run the following command in your project directory:
git init
This will create the .git directory containing an empty repository. Then, add and commit your files.

@chaitanyakiranThandu Make sure you have installed the 'Command Line Tools'. You can find them under Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components. Click the Install button next to Command Line Tools.
In the command prompt, make sure you're in the desired directory and perform a git init and you will have created an empty repository.
You can then proceed to add the files and directories to the repository by doing
git add <filename1> <filename2> ...
or you can select whole directories and use * to act as a wild card of sorts.
git add ./*

Hope this helps.

You should go to your Xcode menu, click Source Control > Create Working Copy...
Xcode will automatically create your .git folder repository.
Good luck, and make sure you have a backup of your project before trying something else.

Works but create a .gitignore file first.
