<div class="paragraph"><p>This command creates an empty Git repository - basically a <code>.git</code>
|
|
directory with subdirectories for <code>objects</code>, <code>refs/heads</code>,
|
|
<code>refs/tags</code>, and template files. An initial branch without any
|
|
commits will be created (see the <code>--initial-branch</code> option below
|
|
for its name).</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>If the <code>GIT_DIR</code> environment variable is set then it specifies a path
|
|
to use instead of <code>./.git</code> for the base of the repository.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>If the object storage directory is specified via the
|
|
<code>GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY</code> environment variable then the sha1 directories
|
|
are created underneath; otherwise, the default <code>$GIT_DIR/objects</code>
|
|
directory is used.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>Running <code>git</code> <code>init</code> in an existing repository is safe. It will not
|
|
overwrite things that are already there. The primary reason for
|
|
rerunning <code>git</code> <code>init</code> is to pick up newly added templates (or to move
|
|
the repository to another place if <code>--separate-git-dir</code> is given).</p></div>

Instead of initializing the repository as a directory to either <code>$GIT_DIR</code> or

Make the repository group-writable, (and <code>g+sx</code>, since the git group may not be

the primary group of all users). This is used to loosen the permissions of an

otherwise safe <code>umask</code>(2) value. Note that the umask still applies to the other

permission bits (e.g. if umask is <code>0022</code>, using <code>group</code> will not remove read

privileges from other (non-group) users). See <code>0xxx</code> for how to exactly specify

the repository permissions.

<em><perm></em> is a 3-digit octal number prefixed with ‘0` and each file
