Worked on the YaLTeR/niri repository to improve repository hygiene by updating the .gitignore file, specifically excluding the JetBrains .idea folder from version control. This targeted change reduced unnecessary noise in diffs and streamlined the code review process, making collaboration more efficient for current and future contributors. The approach focused on maintainability practices, leveraging skills in Git and version control to establish a cleaner project baseline. No user-facing features or bug fixes were released during this period, but the maintenance work laid the groundwork for faster onboarding and smoother feature delivery. Technologies used included Rust, Markdown, and Git workflows.
