Initialize Git Repository for Challenge

[Srujani4]

Set up a Git repository to manage the project's version control. Ensure .gitignore is correctly configured and commit all necessary files. This ticket tracks the completion of the repository initialization after some files were already added.

Acceptance Criteria:

Repository exists and is properly initialized. .gitignore includes Python cache files, .vscode settings, and other unwanted files. Commit history is clean, with an initial commit or a revised commit message. Added files are properly committed.
