git-init(1)

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-init - Create an empty git repository or reinitialize an existing one
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git init' [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared[=<permissions>]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
|
|
Only print error and warning messages, all other output will be suppressed.
|
|
|
|
--bare::
|
|
|
|
Create a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment is not set, it is set to the
|
|
current working directory.
|
|
|
|
--template=<template_directory>::
|
|
|
|
Provide the directory from which templates will be used. The default template
|
|
directory is `/usr/share/git-core/templates`.
|
|
|
|
When specified, `<template_directory>` is used as the source of the template
|
|
files rather than the default. The template files include some directory
|
|
structure, some suggested "exclude patterns", and copies of non-executing
|
|
"hook" files. The suggested patterns and hook files are all modifiable and
|
|
extensible.
|
|
|
|
--shared[={false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx}]::
|
|
|
|
Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. This
|
|
allows users belonging to the same group to push into that
|
|
repository. When specified, the config variable "core.sharedRepository" is
|
|
set so that files and directories under `$GIT_DIR` are created with the
|
|
requested permissions. When not specified, git will use permissions reported
|
|
by umask(2).
|
|
|
|
The option can have the following values, defaulting to 'group' if no value
|
|
is given:
|
|
|
|
- 'umask' (or 'false'): Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default,
|
|
when `--shared` is not specified.
|
|
|
|
- 'group' (or 'true'): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since
|
|
the git group may be not the primary group of all users).
|
|
|
|
- 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'): Same as 'group', but make the repository
|
|
readable by all users.
|
|
|
|
- '0xxx': '0xxx' is an octal number and each file will have mode '0xxx'
|
|
Any option except 'umask' can be set using this option. '0xxx' will
|
|
override users umask(2) value, and thus, users with a safe umask (0077)
|
|
can use this option. '0640' will create a repository which is group-readable
|
|
but not writable. '0660' is equivalent to 'group'.
|
|
|
|
By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled
|
|
in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push
|
|
into it.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command creates an empty git repository - basically a `.git` directory
|
|
with subdirectories for `objects`, `refs/heads`, `refs/tags`, and
|
|
template files.
|
|
An initial `HEAD` file that references the HEAD of the master branch
|
|
is also created.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Running 'git-init' in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite
|
|
things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning 'git-init'
|
|
is to pick up newly added templates.
|
|
|
|
Note that 'git-init' is the same as 'git-init-db'. The command
|
|
was primarily meant to initialize the object database, but over
|
|
time it has become responsible for setting up the other aspects
|
|
of the repository, such as installing the default hooks and
|
|
setting the configuration variables. The old name is retained
|
|
for backward compatibility reasons.
|
|
|

|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Start a new git repository for an existing code base::
|
|
+
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ cd /path/to/my/codebase
|
|
$ git init <1>
|
|
$ git add . <2>
|
|
----------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> prepare /path/to/my/codebase/.git directory
|
|
<2> add all existing file to the index
