Description [src]

Open a git repository.

The path must point to an existing git repository folder, e.g.

/path/to/my_repo/.git/  (normal repository)
                    objects/
                    index
                    HEAD

                objects/
                index
                HEAD

The method will automatically detect if path is a normal or bare repository or fail if it is neither.
