Developed the initial scaffolding for the EPF-MDE/git-first-steps repository, focusing on establishing a reliable foundation for future development. The work included setting up basic file operations, creating a sample test file, and documenting the onboarding process to streamline contributor integration. Emphasis was placed on clear Git workflow documentation and author attribution, ensuring traceable commit history and reproducible builds. No bug fixes were required during this period, as the primary goal was to enable rapid onboarding and consistent contribution practices. Utilized Git and text-based documentation to prepare the repository for upcoming feature development and quality assurance cycles, supporting maintainable project growth.
