HG(INIT)

✨ HG(INIT) ✨

okay so bestie, we're doing hg init today and honestly? iconic. this is the very first thing you ever do with a repo, the origin story, the main character entrance. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

hg init — create a new repository in the given directory 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hg init [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [DEST]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the vibe: you run this and it initializes a brand new repository in the directory you point at. and if that directory doesn't exist yet? no worries, it literally gets created for you. slay. ✨

if you don't give it a directory at all, it just uses the current directory. easy peasy. 💫

and here's the part that's lowkey underrated — you can pass an ssh:// URL as the destination. yep, for real. if you wanna know more about that whole situation, go check out hg help urls. iykyk. 🫶

returns 0 on success. periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -e, --ssh <CMD> — tell it which ssh command to use. like, specify it. that's the whole thing. 🧚
• --remotecmd <CMD> — specify the hg command to run on the remote side. remote bestie gets her own instructions. 💜
• --insecure — do not verify the server certificate. and bestie, note this: it ignores the web.cacerts config. it's giving "living dangerously" energy, so know what you're doing. 🙈

ngl, --insecure is the "trust me bro" of flags. it turns off certificate verification AND ignores web.cacerts. use it on purpose, not by accident, okay? 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. written by the hg(init) girlies, from the HG(INIT) manual, dated the very same as this page's footer — so consider this the cute sign-off version of that source/version line at the bottom. love u, go make a repo 🌈⭐💖
