@jelbourn, can you please provide some more insights in the above mentioned issues to why skipGit should not create ‘.git‘ files? thanks.

[jelbourn]

In my case I already had a gitignore in my repo and the Angular CLI project was in a subdirectory. I just interpreted skipGit as "Skip everything related to git" and not "Don't initialize a git repo from scratch". Don't feel super strongly either way. (Also I didn't find the existing issue because I searched for "skipGit" instead of "skip-git")
