GIT-INIT(1)                                 Git Manual                                GIT-INIT(1)

NAME
       git-init - Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one

SYNOPSIS
       git init [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=<template_directory>]
                 [--separate-git-dir <git dir>] [--object-format=<format>]
                 [-b <branch-name> | --initial-branch=<branch-name>]
                 [--shared[=<permissions>]] [directory]

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 branch
       without any commits will be created (see the --initial-branch option below for its name).

       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 in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite things that are
       already there. The primary reason for rerunning git init is to pick up newly added
       templates (or to move the repository to another place if --separate-git-dir is given).

OPTIONS
       -q, --quiet
           Only print error and warning messages; all other output will be suppressed.

       --bare
           Create a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment is not set, it is set to the current
           working directory.

       --object-format=<format>
           Specify the given object format (hash algorithm) for the repository. The valid values
           are sha1 and (if enabled) sha256.  sha1 is the default.

           THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL! SHA-256 support is experimental and still in an early
           stage. A SHA-256 repository will in general not be able to share work with "regular"
           SHA-1 repositories. It should be assumed that, e.g., Git internal file formats in
           relation to SHA-256 repositories may change in backwards-incompatible ways. Only use
           --object-format=sha256 for testing purposes.

       --template=<template_directory>
           Specify the directory from which templates will be used. (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY"
           section below.)

       --separate-git-dir=<git dir>
           Instead of initializing the repository as a directory to either $GIT_DIR or ./.git/,
           create a text file there containing the path to the actual repository. This file acts
           as filesystem-agnostic Git symbolic link to the repository.

           If this is reinitialization, the repository will be moved to the specified path.

       -b <branch-name>, --initial-branch=<branch-name>
           Use the specified name for the initial branch in the newly created repository. If not
           specified, fall back to the default name (currently master, but this is subject to
           change in the future; the name can be customized via the init.defaultBranch
           configuration variable).

       --shared[=(false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx)]
           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). This is used to loosen the permissions of an
               otherwise safe umask(2) value. Note that the umask still applies to the other
               permission bits (e.g. if umask is 0022, using group will not remove read
               privileges from other (non-group) users). See 0xxx for how to exactly specify the
               repository permissions.

           all (or world or everybody)
               Same as group, but make the repository readable by all users.

           0xxx
               0xxx is an octal number and each file will have mode 0xxx.  0xxx will override
               users' umask(2) value (and not only loosen permissions as group and all does).
               0640 will create a repository which is group-readable, but not group-writable or
               accessible to others.  0660 will create a repo that is readable and writable to
               the current user and group, but inaccessible to others.

       By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled in shared
       repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push into it.

       If you provide a directory, the command is run inside it. If this directory does not
       exist, it will be created.

TEMPLATE DIRECTORY
       Files and directories in the template directory whose name do not start with a dot will be
       copied to the $GIT_DIR after it is created.

       The template directory will be one of the following (in order):

       o   the argument given with the --template option;

       o   the contents of the $GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable;

       o   the init.templateDir configuration variable; or

       o   the default template directory: /usr/share/git-core/templates.

       The default template directory includes some directory structure, suggested "exclude
       patterns" (see gitignore(5)), and sample hook files.

       The sample hooks are all disabled by default. To enable one of the sample hooks rename it
       by removing its .sample suffix.

       See githooks(5) for more general info on hook execution.

EXAMPLES
       Start a new Git repository for an existing code base

               $ cd /path/to/my/codebase
               $ git init      (1)
               $ git add .     (2)
               $ git commit    (3)

           1. Create a /path/to/my/codebase/.git directory.
           2. Add all existing files to the index.
           3. Record the pristine state as the first commit in the history.
