ostree: Initialize a repository of the files in `$PWD` with metadata in `$PWD/{{path/to/repo}}`.

ostree

$ ostree init --repo ${path-to-repo}

try on your machine

This command initializes a new OSTree repository at the specified path.

OSTree is a version control system designed for storing and managing bootable, immutable trees of files. It is commonly used in Linux-based operating systems to manage the core filesystem.

The ostree init command is used to create a new OSTree repository. It takes the --repo option followed by the path where the repository should be created. ${path-to-repo} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the repository location on your system.

For example, if you wanted to initialize a new OSTree repository at /var/ostree/my-repo, the command would be:

ostree init --repo /var/ostree/my-repo

Running this command will create the necessary directory structure and files for the new OSTree repository at the specified location.
