SYNOPSIS

git-init-db [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared[=<permissions>]]

OPTIONS

+--template=<template_directory> +

+Provide the directory from which templates will be used. The default template +directory is /usr/share/git-core/templates. +

When 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.

+--shared[={false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody}] +

+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 $GIT_DIR are created with the +requested permissions. When not specified, git will use permissions reported +by umask(2). +

The option can have the following values, defaulting to group if no value +is given:

+
+umask (or false): Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default, + when --shared is not specified. +
+
+
+group (or true): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since + the git group may be not the primary group of all users). +
+
+
+all (or world or everybody): Same as group, but make the repository + readable by all users. +
+
By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastforward is enabled +in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push +into it.
+

DESCRIPTION

This command creates an empty git repository - basically a .git directory +with subdirectories for objects, refs/heads, refs/tags, and +template files. +An initial HEAD file that references the HEAD of the master branch +is also created.

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.

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.

Note that git-init is the same as git-init-db.

EXAMPLES

+Start a new git repository for an existing code base +

$ cd /path/to/my/codebase
+$ git-init-db   (1)
+$ git-add .     (2)

+
+prepare /path/to/my/codebase/.git directory +
+
+
+add all existing file to the index +
+
