* feat: Git extension stage 2 — GIT_BRANCH_NAME override, --force for existing dirs, auto-install tests (#1940) - Add GIT_BRANCH_NAME env var override to create-new-feature.sh/.ps1 for exact branch naming (bypasses all prefix/suffix generation) - Fix --force flag for 'specify init <dir>' into existing directories - Add TestGitExtensionAutoInstall tests (auto-install, --no-git skip, commands registered) - Add TestFeatureDirectoryResolution tests (env var, feature.json, priority, branch fallback) - Document GIT_BRANCH_NAME in speckit.git.feature.md and specify.md * fix: remove unused Tuple import (ruff F401) * fix: address Copilot review feedback (#2117) - Fix timestamp regex ordering: check YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS before generic numeric prefix in both bash and PowerShell - Set BRANCH_SUFFIX in GIT_BRANCH_NAME override path so 244-byte truncation logic works correctly - Add 244-byte length check for GIT_BRANCH_NAME in PowerShell - Use existing_items for non-empty dir warning with --force - Skip git extension install if already installed (idempotent --force) - Wrap PowerShell feature.json parsing in try/catch for malformed JSON - Fix PS comment: 'prefix lookup' -> 'exact mapping via Get-FeatureDir' - Remove non-functional SPECIFY_SPEC_DIRECTORY from specify.md template * fix: address second round of Copilot review feedback (#2117) - Guard shutil.rmtree on init failure: skip cleanup when --force merged into a pre-existing directory (prevents data loss) - Bash: error on GIT_BRANCH_NAME >244 bytes instead of broken truncation - Fix malformed numbered list in specify.md (restore missing step 1) - Add claude_skills.exists() assert before iterdir() in test * fix: use UTF-8 byte count for 244-byte branch name limit (#2117) - Bash: use LC_ALL=C wc -c for byte length instead of ${#VAR} - PowerShell: use [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetByteCount() instead of .Length (UTF-16 code units) * fix: address third round of review feedback (#2117) - Update --dry-run help text in bash and PowerShell (branch name only) - Fix specify.md JSON example: use concrete path, not literal variable - Add TestForceExistingDirectory tests (merge + error without --force) - Add PowerShell Get-FeaturePathsEnv tests (env var + feature.json) * fix: normalize relative paths and fix Test-HasGit compat (#2117) - Bash common.sh: normalize SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY and feature.json relative paths to absolute under repo root - PowerShell common.ps1: same normalization using IsPathRooted + Join-Path - PowerShell create-new-feature.ps1: call Test-HasGit without -RepoRoot for compatibility with core common.ps1 (no param) and git-common.ps1 (optional param with default) * test: add GIT_BRANCH_NAME automated tests for bash and PowerShell (#2117) - TestGitBranchNameOverrideBash: 5 tests (exact name, sequential prefix, timestamp prefix, overlong rejection, dry-run) - TestGitBranchNameOverridePowerShell: 4 tests (exact name, sequential prefix, timestamp prefix, overlong rejection) - Tests use extension scripts (not core) via new ext_git_repo and ext_ps_git_repo fixtures * fix: restore git init during specify init + review fixes (#2117) - Restore is_git_repo() and init_git_repo() functions removed in stage 2 - specify init now runs git init AND installs git extension (not just extension install alone) - Add is_dir() guard for non-here path to prevent uncontrolled error when target exists but is a file - Add python3 JSON fallback in common.sh for multi-line feature.json (grep pipeline fails on pretty-printed JSON without jq) * fix: use init_git_repo error_msg in failure output (#2117) * fix: ensure_executable_scripts also covers .specify/extensions/ (#2117) Extension .sh scripts (e.g. create-new-feature.sh, initialize-repo.sh) may lack execute bits after install. Scan both .specify/scripts/ and .specify/extensions/ for permission fixing. * fix: move chmod after extension install + sanitize error_msg (#2117) - ensure_executable_scripts() now runs after git extension install so extension .sh files get execute bits in the same init run - Sanitize init_git_repo error_msg to single line (replace newlines, truncate to 120 chars) to prevent garbled StepTracker output * fix: use tracker.error for git init/extension failures (#2117) Git init failure and extension install failure were reported as tracker.complete (showing green) even on error. Now track a git_has_error flag and call tracker.error when any step fails, so the UI correctly reflects the failure state. * fix: sanitize ext_err in git step tracker for consistent rendering (#2117)
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.sh— Bash implementationscripts/bash/git-common.sh— Shared Git utilities (Bash)scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1— PowerShell implementationscripts/powershell/git-common.ps1— Shared Git utilities (PowerShell)
