git-init-db(1)

NAME

|
|
git-init-db - Creates an empty git object database
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-init-db'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This simply creates an empty git object database - basically a `.git`
|
|
directory and `.git/object/??/` directories.
|
|
|
|
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/objects` directory is used.
|
|
|
|
"git-init-db" won't hurt an existing repository.
