R: Create or open a git repository

repository {gert} | R Documentation

## Create or open a git repository

### Description

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

### Usage

    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.
