speckit-git-initialize

Automate Git repository initialization by running the `initialize-repo.sh` script from the project root to set up the repository and create the initial commit. The script checks for Git availability and existing repositories before executing initialization commands internally.

Initializing a Git repository with Spec-Kit requires a specific project structure containing a `.specify/` directory. The automation checks for this structure before proceeding with the repository initialization and initial commit process.

Customize Git initialization steps by replacing scripts to add project-specific configurations such as custom `.gitignore` templates, default branch naming, and Git LFS setup. The Skill supports these customizations during the repository initialization process.

Git repository initialization does not proceed if an existing repository is detected in the current project directory. The automation performs checks for existing repositories and only initializes a new Git repository if one does not already exist.

The repository initialization script performs checks for Git availability before attempting to set up the repository. If Git is not found on the system, the initialization process will not execute, preventing errors during the setup of your Spec-Kit project.

Spec-Kit repository initialization requires a `.specify/` directory in the project structure because the automation is designed specifically for this setup. Without the `.specify/` directory, the initialization script cannot properly configure and commit the Spec-Kit project.
