What problem does it solve?

Initialize a new top-level Git repo for an existing local workspace while excluding secrets, runtime state, caches, and nested upstream repositories; also add a backup script to capture ignored state for safe off-machine storage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defensive initialization: creates a clean, top-level repository with a safety-first .gitignore.
  • Secrets and state exclusion: automatically excludes sensitive files and volatile runtime data.
  • Nested repo handling: detects nested Git repositories and avoids embedding them.
  • Backup path: provides a script to snapshot ignored-state data for later backups.
  • Documentation: includes guidance on remote setup and maintenance.

Quick Start

Run this skill on your local workspace to initialize a safe top-level Git repository that excludes secrets and runtime state while adding a backup script for ignored data.
