Create or open a git repository

Use git_init() to start a new repository or git_clone() to download a repository from a remote.

git_init(path = ".")

git_open(path = ".")

git_find(path = ".")

git_info(repo = ".")

Arguments

path	directory of the git repository. For git_init or git_clone this must be a non-existing or empty directory.
repo	a path to an existing repository, or a git_repository object as returned by git_open, git_init or git_clone.

Details

You may use git_find() and git_open() to explicitly discover and open existing git repositories, but this is usually not needed because all gert functions also take a path argument which implicitly opens the repo.
