Kiss Git Initialize

Initialize Git Repository

Initialize a Git repository in the current project directory if one does not already exist.

Execution

Run the appropriate script from the project root:

• Bash: .kiss/extensions/git/scripts/bash/initialize-repo.sh
• PowerShell: .kiss/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/initialize-repo.ps1

If the extension scripts are not found, fall back to:

• Bash: git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit from kiss template"
• PowerShell: git init; git add .; git commit -m "Initial commit from kiss template"

The script handles all checks internally:

• Skips if Git is not available
• Skips if already inside a Git repository
• Runs git init, git add ., and git commit with an initial commit message

Customization

Replace the script to add project-specific Git initialization steps:

• Custom .gitignore templates
• Default branch naming (git config init.defaultBranch)
• Git LFS setup
• Git hooks installation
• Commit signing configuration
• Git Flow initialization

Output

On success:

• ✓ Git repository initialized

Graceful Degradation

If Git is not installed:

• Warn the user
• Skip repository initialization
• The project continues to function without Git (specs can still be created under specs/)

If Git is installed but git init, git add ., or git commit fails:

• Surface the error to the user
• Stop this command rather than continuing with a partially initialized repository
