.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBgit\-secret\-init\fR should be run inside a \fBgit\fR repo to set up the \.gitsecret directory and initialize the repo for git\-secret\. Until repository is initialized with \fBgit secret init\fR, all other \fBgit\-secret\fR commands are unavailable\.
.
.P
If a \.gitsecret directory already exists, \fBgit\-secret\-init\fR exits without making any changes\. Otherwise, a \.gitsecret directory is created with appropriate sub\-directories, and patterns to ignore git\-secret\'s \fBrandom_seed_file\fR and not ignore \fB\.secret\fR files are added to \fB\.gitignore\fR\.
.
.P
(See git\-secret(7) \fIhttp://git\-secret\.io/git\-secret\fR for information about renaming the \.gitsecret folder with the SECRETS_DIR environment variable, and changing the extension git\-secret uses for secret files with the SECRETS_EXTENSION environment variable\.
