Developed the foundational scaffolding for the EPF-MDE/git-first-steps repository, establishing a structured project skeleton with placeholder files for data, configuration, and documentation. Leveraging Git for version control, the work focused on creating a clean, traceable commit history and embedding contributor metadata to streamline future onboarding and collaboration. The approach emphasized maintainability by organizing the repository for consistent structure and easier governance as the project evolves. While no bugs were reported or fixed during this period, the groundwork laid supports rapid feature development and reduces future defect risk. The primary language used was plain text, with a focus on repository organization.
