createrepo {{path/to/directory}}

Initialize a repository, exclude test RPMs and display verbose logs:

createrepo {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{[-x|--excludes]}} {{test_*.rpm}} {{path/to/directory}}

Initialize a repository, using SHA1 as the checksum algorithm, and ignoring symbolic links:

createrepo {{[-S|--skip-symlinks]}} {{[-s|--checksum]}} {{sha1}} {{path/to/directory}}
