FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a Git repository for a new spec-kit project structure?

To initialize a Git repository for a spec-kit project, this Skill automates creating the repository, staging project files, and generating the initial commit to establish version control.

What happens if I run Git initialization in a directory that already has a repository?

When initializing Git, the Skill detects existing repositories to prevent unsafe partial setups, ensuring your current version control state remains protected and uncorrupted.

Do I need Git installed locally to use automated repository bootstrapping?

Yes, repository bootstrapping requires Git availability on your system, utilizing standard commands or extension scripts to execute the initialization workflow securely.

Why does my version control setup fail when starting a new development workflow?

Version control setup can fail due to missing Git installations or initialization errors, which this Skill detects to avoid unsafe partial setup and ensure a reliable foundation.

Can I use fallback commands if standard Git initialization fails for my project?

Yes, if standard initialization encounters issues, the Skill supports fallback commands and extension scripts to complete the repository setup and prepare your development workflow.
