<h2>NAME</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<p>git-init - | |
Create an empty git repository or reinitialize an existing one | |
</p> | |
</div> | |
</div> | |
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<div class="para"><p><em>git init</em> [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared[=<permissions>]]</p></div> | |
</div> | |
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<div class="vlist"><dl> | |
<dt> | |
-q | |
</dt> | |
<dt> | |
--quiet | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Only print error and warning messages, all other output will be suppressed. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--bare | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Create a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment is not set, it is set to the | |
current working directory. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<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> | |
<div class="para"><p>When 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></div> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--shared[={false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx}] | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
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 <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> are created with the | |
requested permissions. When not specified, git will use permissions reported | |
by umask(2). | |
</p> | |
<div class="para"><p>The option can have the following values, defaulting to <em>group</em> if no value | |
is given:</p></div> | |
<div class="ilist"><ul> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
<em>umask</em> (or <em>false</em>): Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default, | |
when <tt>--shared</tt> is not specified. | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
<em>group</em> (or <em>true</em>): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since | |
the git group may be not the primary group of all users). | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
<em>all</em> (or <em>world</em> or <em>everybody</em>): Same as <em>group</em>, but make the repository | |
readable by all users. | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
<em>0xxx</em>: <em>0xxx</em> is an octal number and each file will have mode <em>0xxx</em> | |
Any option except <em>umask</em> can be set using this option. <em>0xxx</em> will | |
override users umask(2) value, and thus, users with a safe umask (0077) | |
can use this option. <em>0640</em> will create a repository which is group-readable | |
but not writable. <em>0660</em> is equivalent to <em>group</em>. | |
</p> | |
<div class="para"><p>By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled | |
in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push | |
into it.</p></div> | |
</li> | |
</ul></div> | |
</dd> | |
</dl></div> | |
</div> | |
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<div class="para"><p>This command creates an empty git repository - basically a <tt>.git</tt> directory | |
with subdirectories for <tt>objects</tt>, <tt>refs/heads</tt>, <tt>refs/tags</tt>, and | |
template files. | |
An initial <tt>HEAD</tt> file that references the HEAD of the master branch | |
is also created.</p></div> | |
<div class="para"><p>If the <tt>$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></div> | |
<div class="para"><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></div> | |
<div class="para"><p>Running <em>git-init</em> in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite | |
things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning <em>git-init</em> | |
is to pick up newly added templates.</p></div> | |
<div class="para"><p>Note that <em>git-init</em> is the same as <em>git-init-db</em>. 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.</p></div> | |
