FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a config.json file for my repository?▼

The init wizard writes .squadkit/config.json strictly at the repository root to ensure centralized configuration. It intentionally avoids worktree directories so downstream workflows read a single, authoritative config file.

What information do I need to set up Squadkit repo configuration?▼

The Squadkit setup wizard collects five fields including verify, install, and baseBranch commands with no presets. It writes a single JSON config file to the repository root to standardize downstream workflows.

Can I initialize Squadkit config inside a git worktree?▼

No, you cannot initialize Squadkit inside a worktree. The tool enforces repository-root placement only, ensuring the config.json file remains centralized for all downstream Squadkit roles and avoids modifying worktree directories.

Does the Squadkit init wizard provide default command presets?▼

No, the Squadkit init wizard provides no default command presets. It guides you through an interview to manually capture the per-repo verify, install, and baseBranch commands for your specific project.

Why does my Squadkit configuration need to be at the repo root?▼

Your Squadkit configuration must be at the repo root to standardize downstream workflows. Centralized placement guarantees that all Squadkit roles reference a single authoritative config.json file and avoids worktree modifications.
