1 | git-init-db(1) |
2 | ============== | |
3 | v0.1, May 2005 | |
4 | ||
5 | NAME | |
6 | ---- | |
7 | git-init-db - Creates an empty git object database | |
8 | ||
9 | ||
10 | SYNOPSIS | |
11 | -------- | |
12 | 'git-init-db' | |
13 | ||
14 | DESCRIPTION | |
15 | ----------- | |
16 | This simply creates an empty git object database - basically a `.git` | |
17 | directory and `.git/object/??/` directories. | |
18 | ||

19 | If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies a path |
20 | to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the repository. | |
21 | ||

22 | If the object storage directory is specified via the 'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY' |
23 | environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath - | |
24 | otherwise the default `.git/objects` directory is used. | |
25 | ||
26 | "git-init-db" won't hurt an existing repository. | |
