+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This command creates an empty Git repository - basically a `.git`
+directory with subdirectories for `objects`, `refs/heads`,
+`refs/tags`, and template files.  An initial `HEAD` file that
+references the HEAD of the master branch is also created.

+If the `$GIT_DIR` environment variable is set then it specifies a path
+to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the repository.
+
+If the object storage directory is specified via the
+`$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY` environment variable then the sha1 directories
+are created underneath - otherwise the default `$GIT_DIR/objects`
+directory is used.
+
+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).

-Note that 'git init' is the same as 'git init-db'.  The command

-of the repository, such as installing the default hooks and
-setting the configuration variables.  The old name is retained
-for backward compatibility reasons.
