SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-init-db' [--template=<template_directory>] [--shared]
'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`.
--shared::
Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users.
--
--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.

DESCRIPTION
@ -29,12 +59,6 @@ template 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 `$GIT_DIR` environment variable is set then it specifies a path
to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the repository.
@ -42,11 +66,6 @@ If the object storage directory is specified via the `$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.
