Established the initial repository scaffold for ielab/ielabhub.io.git, focusing on creating a robust project foundation to accelerate future feature development and streamline cross-team collaboration. Uploaded essential boilerplate files and structured resources to support onboarding, documentation, and consistent workflows. Leveraged Git for version control and markdown for documentation, ensuring the repository was ready for integration with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks. No application code was introduced during this period, as the primary objective was to lay the groundwork for scalable development. This preparatory work enables efficient future contributions and supports maintainable engineering practices across the project lifecycle.
