In February 2025, Itorres Septien Uribe established the foundational scaffolding for the EPF-MDE/git-first-steps repository, creating a structured project skeleton with placeholder files for data, configuration, and documentation. Using Git for version control and text-based file organization, they ensured a clean, traceable commit history and embedded contributor metadata to streamline future onboarding and collaboration. The approach prioritized maintainability and consistency, setting up a stable base for subsequent development. No bugs were reported during this period, reflecting the depth and care in the initial setup. This groundwork enables faster feature rollout and reduces the risk of defects in future iterations.
