The "Save Point" (Commit): AI development involves trial and error. git commit allows me to save a working state before experimenting with new models or logic.
Security Protocol (.gitignore): The most dangerous mistake in GenAI is leaking API keys (OpenAI/Anthropic keys) to public GitHub. I configured .gitignore to strictly block .env files from being uploaded.
Documentation (README): Code without context is useless. A structured README tracks progress and explains the project to collaborators (and recruiters).
