git-init-db(1) |
|
============== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-init-db - Creates an empty git repository |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-init-db' [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared] |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
--template=<template_directory>:: |
|
Provide the directory from which templates will be used. |
|
The default template directory is `/usr/share/git-core/templates`. |
|
|
|
--shared:: |
|
Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. |
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
This command creates an empty git repository - basically a `.git` directory |
|
with subdirectories for `objects`, `refs/heads`, `refs/tags`, and |
|
templated files. |
|
An initial `HEAD` file that references the HEAD of the master branch |
|
is also created. |
|
|
|
If `--template=<template_directory>` is 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. |
|
|
|
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 `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory is used. |
|
|
|
A shared repository allows users belonging to the same group to push into that |
|
repository. When specifying `--shared` the config variable "core.sharedRepository" |
|
is set to 'true' so that directories under `$GIT_DIR` are made group writable |
|
(and g+sx, since the git group may be not the primary group of all users). |
|
|
|
Running `git-init-db` in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite |
|
things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning `git-init-db` |
|
is to pick up newly added templates. |
|
|
|

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