dolt-init: Initialize a new Dolt data repository in the current directory.
$ dolt init
try on your machine
The command "dolt init" is used to initialize a new Dolt repository.
Dolt is a version-controlled relational database that provides capabilities similar to Git but is specifically designed for data. It enables users to track changes to databases, create branches, merge changes, and collaborate on data easily.
When you run the "dolt init" command, it creates a new Dolt repository in the current working directory. It initializes the repository by creating the necessary file structure and metadata to allow version control and tracking of changes to the database.
After running "dolt init," you can start adding tables, making changes to the database, and using other Dolt commands to manage and track the changes to your data.
