| <h2>NAME</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>git-init-db - | |
| Creates an empty git repository | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p><em>git-init-db</em> [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared]</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>OPTIONS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <dl> | |
| <dt> | |
| --template=<template_directory> | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| Provide the directory from which templates will be used. | |
| The default template directory is <tt>/usr/share/git-core/templates</tt>. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| <dt> | |
| --shared | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| </dl> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>This command creates an empty git repository - basically a <tt>.git</tt> directory | |
| with subdirectories for <tt>objects</tt>, <tt>refs/heads</tt>, <tt>refs/tags</tt>, and | |
| templated files. | |
| An initial <tt>HEAD</tt> file that references the HEAD of the master branch | |
| is also created.</p> | |
| <p>If <tt>--template=<template_directory></tt> is specified, <tt><template_directory></tt> | |
| 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.</p> | |
| <p>If the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> environment variable is set then it specifies a path | |
| to use instead of <tt>./.git</tt> for the base of the repository.</p> | |
| <p>If the object storage directory is specified via the <tt>$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY</tt> | |
| environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath - | |
| otherwise the default <tt>$GIT_DIR/objects</tt> directory is used.</p> | |
| <p>A shared repository allows users belonging to the same group to push into that | |
| repository. When specifying <tt>--shared</tt> the config variable "core.sharedRepository" | |
| is set to <em>true</em> so that directories under <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> are made group writable | |
| (and g+sx, since the git group may be not the primary group of all users).</p> | |
| <p>Running <tt>git-init-db</tt> in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite | |
| things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning <tt>git-init-db</tt> | |
| is to pick up newly added templates.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>EXAMPLES</h2> | |

| Start a new git repository for an existing code base | |
| </dt> | |

| <div class="listingblock"> | |
| <div class="content"> | |

| <p> | |
| prepare /path/to/my/codebase/.git directory | |
