The [init] Command

Create an empty Libra repository

Usage

libra init [OPTIONS]

Description

This command creates the necessary directories and files for a new Libra repository. It also sets up the database and the initial configuration. By default, the repository is initialized with a .libra directory. You can initialize a bare repository with the --bare flag, which sets up the repository without a working directory, containing only Libra data.

Options

  • --bare Initialize a bare repository.

    Git bare VS Libra bare:

    Note：Unlike Git's --bare, the Libra init --bare initializes a bare repository that contains Libra's own SQLite database.

  • --template <template-directory> Specify a directory from which templates will be used to initialize the repository.

  • -b, --initial-branch <INITIAL_BRANCH> Override the name of the initial branch

  • -h, --help Print help

  • [directory] Initialize the repository with specified directory

  • -q,--quiet Suppress all output except for errors

  • --shared[=(false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|<perm>)]
    Set repository permissions for multi-user access:

    • false / umask: use default umask of the system.
    • true / group: group-writable.
    • all / world / everybody: writable by all.
    • <perm>: 4-digit octal starts with 0.
