Create or discover a local Git repository
Use git_init() to create a new repository or git_find() to discover an
existing local repository. git_info() shows basic information about a
repository, such as the SHA and branch of the current HEAD.
git_init(path = ".", bare = FALSE) git_find(path = ".") git_info(repo = ".")
path |
the location of the git repository, see details. |
bare |
if true, a Git repository without a working directory is created |
repo |
The path to the git repository. If the directory is not a
repository, parent directories are considered (see git_find). To disable
this search, provide the filepath protected with |
For git_init() the path parameter sets the directory of the git repository
to create. If this directory already exists, it must be empty. If it does
not exist, it is created, along with any intermediate directories that don't
yet exist. For git_find() the path arguments specifies the directory at
which to start the search for a git repository. If it is not a git repository
itself, then its parent directory is consulted, then the parent's parent, and
so on.
