* feat(init)!: make git extension opt-in and remove --no-git at v0.10.0 - Remove --no-git parameter from specify init command - Remove git extension auto-installation from init flow - Git repository initialization (git init) still runs when git is available - Remove --no-git from all test invocations across the test suite - Update docs to reflect opt-in git extension behavior - Replace TestGitExtensionAutoInstall with TestGitExtensionOptIn tests BREAKING CHANGE: specify init no longer auto-installs the git extension. Use `specify extension add git` to install it explicitly. The --no-git flag has been removed. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * refactor(scripts): remove git operations from core scripts Git functionality is now entirely managed by the git extension. Core scripts only handle directory-based feature creation and numbering. - Remove has_git(), check_feature_branch(), git branch creation from core - Simplify number detection to use only spec directory scanning - Remove HAS_GIT output from get_feature_paths() - Remove git remote fetching and branch querying - Keep BRANCH_NAME output key for backward compatibility Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * refactor: remove all git operations from core - Remove is_git_repo() and init_git_repo() dead code from _utils.py - Remove --branch-numbering from init command - Remove git from 'specify check' (now extension-only) - Update docs: git is optional prerequisite, check command description - Fix tests to reflect no-git-in-core reality (fallback to main) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * refactor(scripts): remove directory scanning and branch fallback from core Core scripts now resolve feature context exclusively from: 1. SPECIFY_FEATURE env var (set by git extension) 2. .specify/feature.json (persisted by specify command) Removed find_feature_dir_by_prefix() and directory scanning heuristics — these are the git extension's responsibility. Scripts error clearly when no feature context is available. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * feat: introduce feature_numbering, deprecate branch_numbering in init-options - specify command template now reads feature_numbering (preferred) with fallback to branch_numbering (deprecated) from init-options.json - Git extension reads git-config.yml > feature_numbering > branch_numbering - init now writes feature_numbering: sequential to init-options.json - Deprecation warning emitted when branch_numbering is used as fallback Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: remove trailing whitespace in common.ps1 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(scripts): persist SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY env var to feature.json When SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY is set, get_feature_paths() now writes the value to .specify/feature.json so future sessions without the env var can still resolve the feature directory. The write is idempotent — it skips when the file already contains the same value. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: address review feedback — error messages and docs - Update error messages in common.sh and common.ps1 to reference SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY instead of SPECIFY_FEATURE (which no longer resolves feature directories) - Fix get_current_branch comment (returns empty string, not error) - Update upgrade.md to reference SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY with correct example paths - Update local-development.md troubleshooting: replace stale 'Git step skipped' row with actionable git extension guidance Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(scripts): harden feature.json persistence - Use json_escape in printf fallback when jq is unavailable (common.sh) - Replace utf8NoBOM encoding with UTF8Encoding($false) for PowerShell 5.1 compatibility (common.ps1) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * refactor(scripts): remove dead feature_json_matches_feature_dir functions These guards are no longer needed since the branch-name validation they protected against has been removed from check-prerequisites. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * refactor(git-ext): rename create-new-feature to create-new-feature-branch The git extension's script only creates the git branch — rename it to reflect that responsibility. The core create-new-feature.sh/.ps1 handles feature directory creation and feature.json persistence. Also includes fixes from review feedback: - common.sh: _persist_feature_json uses json_escape fallback - common.ps1: Save-FeatureJson uses UTF8Encoding for PS 5.1 compat - common.ps1: case-sensitive path stripping on non-Windows - create-new-feature.sh/ps1: output both SPECIFY_FEATURE and SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY - setup-tasks.sh: fix stale 'Validate branch' comment Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(tests): update references to renamed git extension scripts Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(tests): remove duplicate EXT_CREATE_FEATURE assignments Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Manfred Riem <mnriem@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Git Branching Workflow Extension
Git repository initialization, feature branch creation, numbering (sequential/timestamp), validation, remote detection, and auto-commit for Spec Kit.
Overview
This extension provides Git operations as an optional, self-contained module. It manages:
- Repository initialization with configurable commit messages
- Feature branch creation with sequential (
001-feature-name) or timestamp (20260319-143022-feature-name) numbering - Branch validation to ensure branches follow naming conventions
- Git remote detection for GitHub integration (e.g., issue creation)
- Auto-commit after core commands (configurable per-command with custom messages)

Configuration
Configuration is stored in .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml:
# Branch numbering strategy: "sequential" or "timestamp"
branch_numbering: sequential
# Custom commit message for git init
init_commit_message: "[Spec Kit] Initial commit"
# Auto-commit per command (all disabled by default)
# Example: enable auto-commit after specify
auto_commit:
default: false
after_specify:
enabled: true
message: "[Spec Kit] Add specification"
Installation
# Install the bundled git extension (no network required)
specify extension add git
Disabling
# Disable the git extension (spec creation continues without branching)
specify extension disable git
# Re-enable it
specify extension enable git
Graceful Degradation
When Git is not installed or the directory is not a Git repository:
- Spec directories are still created under
specs/ - Branch creation is skipped with a warning
- Branch validation is skipped with a warning
- Remote detection returns empty results
Scripts
The extension bundles cross-platform scripts:
scripts/bash/create-new-feature-branch.sh— Bash implementation (branch creation only)scripts/bash/git-common.sh— Shared Git utilities (Bash)scripts/powershell/create-new-feature-branch.ps1— PowerShell implementation (branch creation only)scripts/powershell/git-common.ps1— Shared Git utilities (PowerShell)
