Repository includes non-essential and environment-specific files

[JosephJonathanFernandes]

Description

• The repository currently contains several files that do not need to be version-controlled. These appear to be environment-specific, generated, or temporary files, which can add unnecessary noise to the codebase.

• While they do not break functionality, keeping such files in the repository may reduce clarity and make collaboration more difficult over time.

Observations

• Some committed files seem to fall into the following categories:

• IDE or editor-specific metadata

• Generated or build-related artifacts

• Local environment or cache files

• These are typically excluded from source control in most open-source projects.

Proposed Improvement

• Remove non-essential files that are not required for building, running, or understanding the project.

• Introduce or refine a .gitignore file to prevent similar files from being committed in the future.

Benefits

• Improves repository cleanliness and maintainability

• Reduces cognitive load for contributors and reviewers

• Aligns the project with common open-source best practices

Additional Notes

• This is a non-blocking improvement but would help keep the repository professional and contributor-friendly as the project evolves.
