saram ali ba9a8b8e59 fix: suppress CRLF warnings in auto-commit.ps1 (#2258)
* fix: suppress CRLF warnings in auto-commit.ps1 (#2253)

Replace 2> with 2>&1 redirection and  assignment to properly
suppress stderr output including CRLF warnings on Windows. Exit code
logic preserved for change detection.

Fixes #2253

* fix: use SilentlyContinue for CRLF stderr handling, add tests

The 2>&1 approach still raises terminating errors under
$ErrorActionPreference='Stop'.  Instead, temporarily set
SilentlyContinue around all native git calls that may emit
CRLF warnings to stderr (rev-parse, diff, ls-files, add, commit).

Adds 5 pytest tests (TestAutoCommitPowerShellCRLF) that set
core.autocrlf=true with LF-ending files.  On Windows runners
this triggers actual CRLF warnings; on other platforms the tests
pass trivially.

Fixes #2253

* refactor: address Copilot review feedback

- Use 'Continue' instead of 'SilentlyContinue' so error output is
  still captured in $out for diagnostics on real git failures.
- Wrap all three EAP save/restore blocks in try/finally to guarantee
  restoration even on unexpected exceptions.
- Fix CRLF test to commit a tracked LF file first, then modify it,
  so git diff --quiet HEAD actually inspects the tracked change and
  triggers the CRLF warning on Windows.

* test: assert CRLF warning fires on Windows

On Windows, probe git diff stderr before running the script to verify
the test setup actually produces the expected CRLF warning.  This
makes the regression test deterministic on the Windows runner.  On
non-Windows the probe is skipped (warnings don't fire there).

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)

Commands

Command Description
speckit.git.initialize Initialize a Git repository with a configurable commit message
speckit.git.feature Create a feature branch with sequential or timestamp numbering
speckit.git.validate Validate current branch follows feature branch naming conventions
speckit.git.remote Detect Git remote URL for GitHub integration
speckit.git.commit Auto-commit changes (configurable per-command enable/disable and messages)

Hooks

Event Command Optional Description
before_constitution speckit.git.initialize No Init git repo before constitution
before_specify speckit.git.feature No Create feature branch before specification
before_clarify speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before clarification
before_plan speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before planning
before_tasks speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before task generation
before_implement speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before implementation
before_checklist speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before checklist
before_analyze speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before analysis
before_taskstoissues speckit.git.commit Yes Commit outstanding changes before issue sync
after_constitution speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after constitution update
after_specify speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after specification
after_clarify speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after clarification
after_plan speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after planning
after_tasks speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after task generation
after_implement speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after implementation
after_checklist speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after checklist
after_analyze speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after analysis
after_taskstoissues speckit.git.commit Yes Auto-commit after issue sync

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 implementation
  • scripts/bash/git-common.sh — Shared Git utilities (Bash)
  • scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1 — PowerShell implementation
  • scripts/powershell/git-common.ps1 — Shared Git utilities (PowerShell)
