# NAME
git-annex init - initialize git-annex
# SYNOPSIS
git annex init `[description]`
# DESCRIPTION
Until a repository (or one of its remotes) has been initialized,
git-annex will refuse to operate on it, to avoid accidentally
using it in a repository that was not intended to have an annex.
It's useful, but not mandatory, to initialize each new clone
of a repository with its own description. If you don't provide one,
one will be generated using the username, hostname and the path.
