Initializes a new git repository, setting up all the configuration files needed by git.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git init` to initialize an empty repository in the current directory.
|
|
- Alternatively, use `git init [<directory>]` to initialize the repository in the specified `<directory>`.
|
|
- Note: Running `git init` in an existing repository is safe.
|
|
- Note: You only need to run `git init` once per repository.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git init [<directory>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd ~/my_project
|
|
git init # Initializes a repo in ~/my_project
|
|
|
|
cd ~
|
|
git init my_project # Initializes a repo in ~/my_project
|
|
```
