NAME

bif-init - create new bif repository

VERSION

0.1.0 (yyyy-mm-dd)

SYNOPSIS

bif init [DIRECTORY] [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

The bif init command initializes a new bif repository. The repository is usually a directory named .bif containing the following files:

config:

Configuration information in INI format

db.sqlite3:

repository data in an SQLite database

By default .bif is created underneath the current working directory.

bif init

You can initialize a repository under a different location by giving a DIRECTORY as the first argument, which will be created if it doesn't already exist.

bif init elsewhere

If you are creating a repository for use as a hub then the --bare option can be used to skip the creation of the .bif directory.

bif init my-hub --bare

Attempting to initialize an existing repository is considered an error.

ARGUMENTS & OPTIONS

DIRECTORY

The parent location of the respository directory. Defaults to the current working directory (. or $PWD).

--bare

Initialize the repository in DIRECTORY directly instead of DIRECTORY/.bif.
