speckit-git-initialize

To initialize a Git repository, the tool validates Git availability, runs git init, stages all files with git add ., and creates an initial commit. It uses project-root Bash or PowerShell scripts when available or falls back to standard Git commands.

Yes, repository initialization supports both Bash and PowerShell scripts. It checks for project-root scripts in either format and executes them if present, otherwise falling back to direct Git commands to set up the initial state.

If a Git repository already exists in the current project directory, the initialization process detects the existing repository status and will not run git init again, preventing conflicts with an already established version control history.

Yes, automated Git initialization can be applied to existing projects requiring a clean history. It validates Git availability, checks the current repository status, and sets up the initial state using available scripts or standard Git commands.

Automating version control setup is best handled by using project-root scripts that automatically execute git init, git add ., and git commit. This ensures consistent repository initialization across multiple projects without manual command entry.

Git initialization fails without Git installed because the tool validates Git availability before proceeding. This validation step prevents errors when attempting to run git init, git add ., and git commit commands on a system lacking the required version control software.
