298 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
\r
299 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
300 <p>This simply creates an empty git repository - basically a <tt>.git</tt> directory
\r
301 and <tt>.git/object/??/</tt>, <tt>.git/refs/heads</tt> and <tt>.git/refs/tags</tt> directories,
\r
302 and links <tt>.git/HEAD</tt> symbolically to <tt>.git/refs/heads/master</tt>.</p>
\r
303 <p>If the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> environment variable is set then it specifies a path
\r
304 to use instead of <tt>./.git</tt> for the base of the repository.</p>
\r
305 <p>If the object storage directory is specified via the <tt>$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY</tt>
\r
306 environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
\r
307 otherwise the default <tt>$GIT_DIR/objects</tt> directory is used.</p>
\r
308 <p>A shared repository allows users belonging to the same group to push into that
\r
309 repository. When specifying <tt>--shared</tt> the config variable "core.sharedRepository"
\r
310 is set to <em>true</em> so that directories under <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt> are made group writable
\r
311 (and g+sx, since the git group may be not the primary group of all users).</p>
\r
312 <p>Running <tt>git-init-db</tt> in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite
\r
313 things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning <tt>git-init-db</tt>
\r
314 is to pick up newly added templates.</p>
\r
