git-secret-init - initializes git-secret repository.
====================================================
## SYNOPSIS
git secret init
## DESCRIPTION
`git-secret-init` should be run inside a `git` repo to set up the .gitsecret directory and initialize the repo for git-secret.
Until repository is initialized with `git secret init`, all other `git-secret` commands are unavailable.
If a .gitsecret directory already exists, `git-secret-init` exits without making any changes.
Otherwise, a .gitsecret directory is created with appropriate sub-directories,
and patterns to ignore git-secret's `random_seed_file`
and not ignore `.secret` files are added to `.gitignore`.
(See [git-secret(7)](http://git-secret.io/git-secret) 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.
## OPTIONS
-h - shows this help.
