git-init-db(1)

|
==============
|
|
v0.1, May 2005
|

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-init-db - Creates an empty git repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-init-db'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This simply creates an empty git repository - basically a `.git` directory
|
|
and `.git/object/??/`, `.git/refs/heads` and `.git/refs/tags` directories,
|
|
and links `.git/HEAD` symbolically to `.git/refs/heads/master`.
|
|
|
|
If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies a path
|
|
to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the repository.
|
|
|
|
If the object storage directory is specified via the 'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY'
|
|
environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
|
|
otherwise the default `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory is used.
|
|
|
|
"git-init-db" won't hurt an existing repository.
