Create a new repository from a rooted path

Standard ".git" repository

Git

$ git init /d/temp/rooted/path
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/temp/rooted/path/.git/

LibGit2Sharp

string rootedPath = Repository.Init(@"D:\temp\rooted\path");

Console.WriteLine(rootedPath);    // "D:\temp\rooted\path\.git\\"

Bare repository

Git

$ git init --bare /d/temp/rooted/path
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/temp/rooted/path/

LibGit2Sharp

string rootedPath = Repository.Init(@"D:\temp\rooted\path", true);

Console.WriteLine(rootedPath);    // "D:\temp\rooted\path\\"

Create a new repository from a relative path

The relative path will be combined with the current working directory into an absolute path. Current working directory for the following code samples is "D:\Temp\".

Standard ".git" repository

Git

$ git init relative/path
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/temp/relative/path/.git/

LibGit2Sharp

string rootedPath = Repository.Init(@"relative\path");

Console.WriteLine(rootedPath);    // "D:\temp\relative\path\.git\\"

Bare repository

Git

$ git init --bare relative/path
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/temp/relative/path/

LibGit2Sharp

string rootedPath = Repository.Init(@"relative\path", true);

Console.WriteLine(rootedPath);    // "D:\temp\relative\path\\"
