Lea Morand established the foundational structure for the EPF-MDE/git-first-steps repository by bootstrapping the project with initial assets and author attribution. She created a reproducible onboarding process by adding a LeA metadata file and a binary placeholder, ensuring future development could proceed efficiently. Her work focused on clear repository organization and artifact management, using Git for version control and standard asset onboarding practices. Although the scope was limited to a single feature over one month, the depth of her contribution lay in setting up a maintainable baseline, which supports scalable feature delivery and consistent project documentation for future contributors.
