FAQPage Schema
How do I initialise a git repository and generate a .gitignore file?

To initialise a git repository, this skill automates the setup in your current workspace and optionally generates or updates a .gitignore file tailored to your project needs.

What are agent commit instructions and how do they enforce a commit workflow?

Agent commit instructions are policies appended to the AGENTS.md file that enforce a strict commit workflow within your version control setup to guide automated contributions.

Can I set up version control if git is already initialised in my directory?

Yes, if git is already initialised, the skill detects the existing version control setup, skips initialisation, and proceeds to offer optional agent commit instructions and .gitignore configuration.

What's the best way to configure agent commit policies for version control?

The best way to configure agent commit policies is to append specific commit workflow instructions directly to the AGENTS.md file during your initial git repository setup.

Does this git setup process require any dependencies or components?

No, this git setup process requires no external dependencies or components, allowing you to initialise repositories and configure version control files directly in your current environment.
