different command to create a remote repo in Git

Question

What are differences between these commands in Git (VCS tool) :

$ git init --bare
$ git init --bare --shared
$ git init --bare --shared=group

Would you please explain to me?

From the man page:

   --shared[=(false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx)]
       Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. This allows users belonging to the same group to push into that repository. When
       specified, the config variable "core.sharedRepository" is set so that files and directories under $GIT_DIR are created with the requested permissions. When
       not specified, git will use permissions reported by umask(2).

What exactly are you puzzled about?

Or, `git init --help` (you can use `--help` with any Git command) – Greg Hewgill Dec 03 '12 at 08:11
