The command "borg init ${path-to-repo_directory}" is used to initialize a new BorgBackup repository at the specified path-to-repo_directory.
- "borg" is the name of the command-line tool for BorgBackup, a backup program that creates and manages backups efficiently.
- "init" is a command within BorgBackup that initializes a new repository.
- "${path-to-repo_directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to create the repository.
By running this command, BorgBackup will create the necessary directory structure and configuration files to set up a new backup repository at the specified path. This repository is where you can store and manage your backups using BorgBackup commands.
