init¶
- Purpose:
Make a directory into a versioned branch.
- Usage:
brz init [LOCATION]

Specify a format for this branch. See “help formats” for a full list.
- --2a, --bzr, --default

- --git
GIT repository.
- --git-bare

- Description:
Use this to create an empty branch, or before importing an existing project.
If there is a repository in a parent directory of the location, then the history of the branch will be stored in the repository. Otherwise init creates a standalone branch which carries its own history in the .bzr directory.
If there is already a branch at the location but it has no working tree, the tree can be populated with ‘brz checkout’.
Recipe for importing a tree of files:
cd ~/project brz init brz add . brz status brz commit -m "imported project"
