restic: Initialize a backup repository in the specified local directory.
$ restic init --repo ${path-to-repository}
try on your machine
The command "restic init --repo ${path-to-repository}" is used to initialize a new repository for the restic backup tool.
Explanation:
- "restic" is the command-line tool used for backups and restores with the restic software.
- "init" is the command that triggers the initialization process for a new repository.
- "--repo" is an option to specify the repository location or path where the backup data will be stored.
- "${path-to-repository}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the desired repository directory.
So, when you run this command with the appropriate repository path, restic will create a new repository in that location, which will serve as the centralized storage for your backup data.
