git_repository_init_ext

Version:

Create a new Git repository in the given folder with extended controls.

This will initialize a new git repository (creating the repo_path if requested by flags) and working directory as needed. It will auto-detect the case sensitivity of the file system and if the file system supports file mode bits correctly.

Note that the libgit2 library must be initialized using git_libgit2_init before any APIs can be called, including this one.
