After running gin init on your project directory, which contains a .git subdirectory, you can run it on the same project directory once again, and it will not override the existing .git configuration.
Running git init with or without the bare option
The shared repositories must be created with the --bare flag.The --bare flag is used to create a repository that has not working directory and does not allows editting files and commit changes in the directory. --bare is a way to mark a repository as a storage facility.Bare repository must be initialized to git push and git pull from, but never directly commit to it. Central repositories must be created as bare repositories because pushing branches to a non-bare repository can overwrite changes.The central repository is always bare, while the local repositories are non-bare.The most common use for git init --bare is creating a remote central repository.
Templates initialize a new repository with .git subdirectory. Templates can be created for default directories and files that will be copied to the already defined .git subdirectory. The default templates are an example of utilizing template features.
The git init configurations have a argument. The command is run inside the provided . In case of the absence of this directory, a new one will be created. Here is the full list of options:
The bare repo approach is a little more complex than the aforementioned strategy. In a nutshell, the symptom of that complexity surfaces in the need to append --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME to every git command. We'll get to options for easing that pain, though, in a moment.
In the above example, the directory self.rorepo.working_tree_dir equals /Users/mtrier/Development/git-python and is my working repository which contains the .git directory. You can also initialize GitPython with a bare repository.
Additionally, GitPython adds functionality to track a specific branch, instead of just a commit. Supported by customized update methods, you are able to automatically update submodules to the latest revision available in the remote repository, as well as to keep track of changes and movements of these submodules. To use it, set the name of the branch you want to track to the submodule.$name.branch option of the .gitmodules file, and use GitPython update methods on the resulting repository with the to_latest_revision parameter turned on. In the latter case, the sha of your submodule will be ignored, instead a local tracking branch will be updated to the respective remote branch automatically, provided there are no local changes. The resulting behaviour is much like the one of svn::externals, which can be useful in times.
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).
This will replace the command git with a function. This function will make the command git run exactly the same, unless you are calling git init without any other arguments. When you call git init it will init the repository. Next it will check to see if the branch "daddy" already exists. If it does, it will check out that branch, otherwise it will create the branch and move you to it.
If you are not using the bare option, then these files will be placed in a .git named directory in the root of your project directory. In this case, your project directory will contain the current working files of your project alongside with the .git that contains all of the version tracking information. Most commonly this is the way you want to set up your repository because it allows you to work on your project and then commit your changes in your local repository.
If you use the bare option you will have all the files that would live in the .git folder directly placed under the root of your project directory. So in this case there will be no working files, only the repository files that contain all the version history of your project. This means that you cannot directly commit to this repository, you can only push changes to this repo or pull changes from it. This is the purpose of a bare repository: to have a centralized server (even though git is a decentralized version control system), where you can share your changes with your teammates or with the world.
After the clone, a plain git fetch without arguments will updateall the remote-tracking branches, and a git pull withoutarguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into thecurrent master branch, if any (this is untrue when "--single-branch"is given; see below).
When the repository to clone is on the local machine,instead of using hard links, automatically setup.git/objects/info/alternates to share the objectswith the source repository. The resulting repositorystarts out without any object of its own.
Note that running git repack without the -l option in a repositorycloned with -s will copy objects from the source repository into a packin the cloned repository, removing the disk space savings of clone -s.It is safe, however, to run git gc, which uses the -l option bydefault.
Make a bare Git repository. That is, instead ofcreating and placing the administrativefiles in /.git, make the itself the $GIT_DIR. This obviously implies the -nbecause there is nowhere to check out the working tree.Also the branch heads at the remote are copied directlyto corresponding local branch heads, without mappingthem to refs/remotes/origin/. When this option isused, neither remote-tracking branches nor the relatedconfiguration variables are created.
After the clone is created, initialize all submodules within,using their default settings. This is equivalent to runninggit submodule update --init --recursive immediately afterthe clone is finished. This option is ignored if the clonedrepository does not have a worktree/checkout (i.e. if any of--no-checkout/-n, --bare, or --mirror is given)
If your sources are in GitHub, then this option publishes the status of your build to GitHub using GitHub Checks or Status APIs. If your build is triggered from a GitHub pull request, then you can view the status on the GitHub pull requests page. This also allows you to set status policies within GitHub and automate merges. If your build is triggered by continuous integration (CI), then you can view the build status on the commit or branch in GitHub.
If you can't use the Checkout submodules option, then you can instead use a custom script step to fetch submodules.First, get a personal access token (PAT) and prefix it with pat:.Next, base64-encode this prefixed string to create a basic auth token.Finally, add this script to your pipeline:
If you're using TFS, or if you're using Azure Pipelines with a self-hosted agent, then you must install git-lfs on the agent for this option to work. If your hosted agents use Windows, consider using the System.PreferGitFromPath variable to ensure that pipelines use the versions of git and git-lfs you installed on the machine.
For Azure Repos, you can use a personal access token with the Code (Read) permission.Send this as the password field in a "Basic" authorization header without a username.(In other words, base64-encode the value of :, including the colon.)
I have multiple machines in the house that I develop from. A bare repository exists on my NAS as I don't want my repo's on some sort of cloud service. The bare repository is made using GIT bash "git init --bare" and is the only reason we haven't ditched GIT bash. The feature I'm proposing is twofold: 1. The creation of a bare repository 2. The (optional) cloning of the newly created repo to my local machine.This could be nicely implemented as an option in the "init wizard" (see screenshot)
This requires one to use a remote repository as a central one, and initially, only Bare repositories could be used as remote repositories. With the latest changes in git, central repositories need not be bare, hence not many people know about it properly.The only possible operations on the Bare Repository are Pushing or Cloning. Using a Bare RepositoryA bare repository is linked with a local repository, hence the files in .git of local repo should match with the files in the bare repo. First, create a bare repository (See section for the code snippet).Then, create a local repository folder and clone the bare repository:
And thus, your local repo has been linked to the Bare Repository. In case you already have some files in the project directory, directly initialize the project folder as a git repository, then push its changes to a bare repository (make sure that the Bare repository is not linked to any other project or is newly created). Another way is to clone your working project repository into a bare one:
Unless you want to do this every time you push changes to the remote repository, it is recommended to use a bare repository.A bare repository takes much less space to store the same information along with the tracked changes than a non-bare repository. Hence, its storage consumption is the most efficient. Therefore, only a bare repository is suited to serve as a remote or central repository.
The Git init command creates a new Git repository. The init command sets up all the configuration files you need to work with git in a folder called .git/. You only need to run the git init command once.
There are two ways to start working with Git. First, you can clone an existing repository using git clone. This will copy all the code and history from an existing project to your local machine. Second, you can create a new repository using git init, which will have its own versioning system and history.
The git init command does not change the project in the folder in which you run the command. This is because all the main files git needs are stored within the .git directory that the git init command creates. 2ff7e9595c
