gitflow init, what happens inside, after to execute

I've tested gitflow init, on the shell with a existing project:

$ git flow init -f

Which branch should be used for bringing forth production releases?
   - develop
   - master
Branch name for production releases: [master] 

Which branch should be used for integration of the "next release"?
   - develop
Branch name for "next release" development: [develop] 

How to name your supporting branch prefixes?
Feature branches? [feature/] 
Release branches? [release/] 
Hotfix branches? [hotfix/] 
Support branches? [support/] 
Version tag prefix? []

and with gitkraken.

After the question to name the branches,( i left all in default values) i can use gitflow commands, but what happened inside ? i don't see new files on the project folder. what gitflow did, to init. the gitflow init create files ? where? I downloaded a git project teorically using gitflow, but i need anyway use gitflow. how gitflow realiza a project is initiated ?

gi flow init "just" modifies the git configuration of the repository. So you can see these values in the file .git/config.

The configuration of a repository is NOT checked in and hence can NOT be transported between repositories. Every user/committer/contributor has to initialize git flow on their local repositories.
