299 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
\r
300 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
301 <p>This command creates an empty git repository - basically a <tt>.git</tt> directory
\r
302 with subdirectories for <tt>objects</tt>, <tt>refs/heads</tt>, <tt>refs/tags</tt>, and
\r
304 An initial <tt>HEAD</tt> file that references the HEAD of the master branch
\r
305 is also created.</p>
\r
306 <p>If <tt>--template=<template_directory></tt> is specified, <tt><template_directory></tt>
\r
307 is used as the source of the template files rather than the default.
\r
308 The template files include some directory structure, some suggested
\r
309 "exclude patterns", and copies of non-executing "hook" files. The
\r
310 suggested patterns and hook files are all modifiable and extensible.</p>
\r
311 <p>If the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> environment variable is set then it specifies a path
\r
312 to use instead of <tt>./.git</tt> for the base of the repository.</p>
\r
313 <p>If the object storage directory is specified via the <tt>$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY</tt>
\r
314 environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
\r
315 otherwise the default <tt>$GIT_DIR/objects</tt> directory is used.</p>
\r
316 <p>A shared repository allows users belonging to the same group to push into that
\r
317 repository. When specifying <tt>--shared</tt> the config variable "core.sharedRepository"
\r
318 is set to <em>true</em> so that directories under <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> are made group writable
\r
319 (and g+sx, since the git group may be not the primary group of all users).</p>
\r
320 <p>Running <tt>git-init-db</tt> in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite
\r
321 things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning <tt>git-init-db</tt>
\r
322 is to pick up newly added templates.</p>
