speckit-git-initialize

This Skill automates git repository initialization by running git init, git add ., and git commit with a baseline message, detecting your shell environment to execute the appropriate Bash or PowerShell script with fallbacks.

Yes, Git initialization supports both Bash and PowerShell script execution. It detects the shell environment and applies fallback commands to initialize the repository and commit files if extension scripts are unavailable.

If a Git repository already exists in the project directory, the Skill detects it during the pre-execution checks and safely skips the initialization and commit process to avoid overwriting your existing version control state.

You can customize the Git repository setup by applying custom ignore templates, configuring default branch naming, and setting up hooks during initialization to tailor the repository baseline to your project requirements.

Before initializing a new Git repository, the Skill performs safety checks for Git availability on the system and verifies the project directory does not already contain a repository before executing the initialization and commit commands.
