Other commands wil indirectly init the chezmoi repo, is this correct?

On a new system, before running chezmoi init, it looks like running chezmoi git -- log, triggers logic for chezmoi init. chezmoi status returns 0 instead of 1 afterwards, it just feels as if init has ran. For example, the chezmoi purge command reacts and deletes everything as if chezmoi init was completed beforehand.

Probably related to entries where "createSourceDirectoryIfNeeded" occurs, for example createSourceDirectoryIfNeeded. If chezmoi init is not called by the user, it looks like other commands will indirectly init the chezmoi repo, is this correct?

No. Commands with the createSourceDirectoryIfNeeded annotation will create the source directory but will not create a git repo.
