nt init

Name

the-notewriter init — Create an empty The NoteWriter repository.

Synopsis

Usage:
  nt init [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for init

Description

This command creates an empty The NoteWriter repository — basically a .nt directory with subdirectories for objects, refs, and default configuration files. A default index without any commits will be created.

Running nt init in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite things that are already there.

Example

• Init a new repository:

   $ nt init
   $ tree -a
   .
   ├── .nt
   │   ├── .gitignore
   │   └── config
   └── .ntignore
  
   1 directory, 3 files
