git-init-db(1)
==============
v0.1, May 2005
NAME
----
git-init-db - Creates an empty git repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-init-db'
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.
