@deno-forge/git-ignite

Initializes a Git repository and configures it for GitHub based on your deno.json(c) settings.

Usage

deno run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run jsr:@deno-forge/git-ignite

Options

• --branch=<name> – specify a branch name (default: main)
• --dry-run – print commands instead of executing them
• --no-commit – skip initial commit
• --open – open the GitHub repository creation page (default: true)

Permissions

This CLI requires:

• --allow-read - required for parsing the deno.json(c) file
• --allow-write - required for writing the .gitignore file
• --allow-run - required for running git commands via shell

Advanced Usage

import { runGitSetup } from "jsr:@deno-forge/git-ignite"

await runGitSetup({
  dryRun: true,
  branchName: "main",
  noCommit: false,
  open: true,
})

📁 Requirements

• Git must be installed and available in your system path.
• Your project must include a deno.json or deno.jsonc file with a valid githubPath (e.g., "owner/repo").
• Optionally include a description field to prefill the GitHub repo creation page.
