git-init-db(1) |
|
============== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-init-db - Creates an empty git repository |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-init-db' [--template=<template_directory>] |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
--template=<template_directory>:: |
|
Provide the directory in from which templates will be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
Start a new git repository for an existing code base:: |
|
+ |
|
---------------- |
|
$ cd /path/to/my/codebase |
|
$ git-init-db |
|
