* 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.

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>

# Create Feature Branch
|
|
|
|
Create and switch to a new git feature branch for the given specification. This command handles **branch creation only** — the spec directory and files are created by the core `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__` workflow.
|
|
|
|
## User Input
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ARGUMENTS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variable Override
|
|
|
|
If the user explicitly provided `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` (e.g., via environment variable, argument, or in their request), pass it through to the script by setting the `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` environment variable before invoking the script. When `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` is set:
|
|
- The script uses the exact value as the branch name, bypassing all prefix/suffix generation
|
|
- `--short-name`, `--number`, and `--timestamp` flags are ignored
|
|
- `FEATURE_NUM` is extracted from the name if it starts with a numeric prefix, otherwise set to the full branch name
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Verify Git is available by running `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null`
|
|
- If Git is not available, warn the user and skip branch creation
|
|
|
|
## Branch Numbering Mode
|
|
|
|
Determine the branch numbering strategy by checking configuration in this order:
|
|
|
|
1. Check `.specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml` for `branch_numbering` value
|
|
2. Check `.specify/init-options.json` for `feature_numbering` value (inherit from core)
|
|
3. Check `.specify/init-options.json` for `branch_numbering` value (deprecated, backward compatibility — will be removed in a future release)
|
|
4. Default to `sequential` if none of the above exist
|
|
|
|
## Execution
|
|
|
|
Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the branch:
|
|
- Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
|
|
- Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
|
|
- Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Run the appropriate script based on your platform:
|
|
|
|
- **Bash**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature-branch.sh --json --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
|
|
- **Bash (timestamp)**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature-branch.sh --json --timestamp --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
|
|
- **PowerShell**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature-branch.ps1 -Json -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
|
|
- **PowerShell (timestamp)**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature-branch.ps1 -Json -Timestamp -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**:
|
|
- Do NOT pass `--number` — the script determines the correct next number automatically
|
|
- Always include the JSON flag (`--json` for Bash, `-Json` for PowerShell) so the output can be parsed reliably
|
|
- You must only ever run this script once per feature
|
|
- The JSON output will contain `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM`
|
|
|
|
## Graceful Degradation
|
|
|
|
If Git is not installed or the current directory is not a Git repository:
|
|
- Branch creation is skipped with a warning: `[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; skipped branch creation`
|
|
- The script still outputs `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM` so the caller can reference them
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
The script outputs JSON with:
|
|
- `BRANCH_NAME`: The branch name (e.g., `003-user-auth` or `20260319-143022-user-auth`)
|
|
- `FEATURE_NUM`: The numeric or timestamp prefix used
