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.
