Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
(See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
+--config <key>=<value>::
+-c <key>=<value>::
+ Set a configuration variable in the newly-created repository;
+ this takes effect immediately after the repository is
+ initialized, but before the remote history is fetched or any
+ files checked out. The key is in the same format as expected by
+ linkgit:git-config[1] (e.g., `core.eol=true`). If multiple
+ values are given for the same key, each value will be written to
+ the config file. This makes it safe, for example, to add
+ additional fetch refspecs to the origin remote.
+
--depth <depth>::
Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
specified number of revisions. A shallow repository has a
repository does not have a worktree/checkout (i.e. if any of
`--no-checkout`/`-n`, `--bare`, or `--mirror` is given)
+--separate-git-dir=<git dir>::
+ Instead of placing the cloned repository where it is supposed
+ to be, place the cloned repository at the specified directory,
+ then make a filesytem-agnostic git symbolic link to there.
+ The result is git repository can be separated from working
+ tree.

<repository>::
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the
<<URLS,URLS>> section below for more information on specifying
