FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Git repository initialization for a new spec-kit project?

Automating Git repository initialization is handled by running the initialize-repo.sh script. It initializes the repository and creates an initial commit, simplifying project setup for structures using .specify/ directories.

Can I customize Git initialization steps like .gitignore templates and LFS?

You can customize Git initialization by configuring project-specific steps within the script. It supports adding custom .gitignore templates and setting up Git LFS during repository initialization.

Does the Git initialization script work in environments without Git installed?

The Git initialization script provides fallbacks for environments without Git availability. It detects whether Git is installed and adjusts the initialization process to prevent execution errors.

What is the best way to initialize a Git repository for .specify/ directory structures?

The best way to initialize a Git repository for .specify/ directory structures is using an automated initialization script. It handles the initial commit and is specifically designed for spec-kit project compatibility.

Are there limitations when automating project setup for spec-kit repositories?

Limitations include dependency on Git availability, though fallbacks exist. The automated initialization is tailored for spec-kit project structures, meaning standard setups without .specify/ directories may not be fully compatible.
