Initialize Project Repository and Basic Structure

[angrycaptain19]

Set up the initial GitHub repository for the EcoTrack project and establish the basic project structure for both the backend and frontend components.

Tasks:

• Set up a .gitignore file to exclude unnecessary files (e.g., node_modules, environment variables). Backend Setup:

• Choose a backend framework (e.g., Node.js with Express).

• Initialize the backend project with the chosen framework.

• Organize the backend file structure following best practices (e.g., separate folders for controllers, models, routes). Frontend Setup:

• Choose a frontend framework (e.g., React).

• Initialize the frontend project with the chosen framework.

• Organize the frontend file structure appropriately (e.g., components, services, assets). Documentation:

• Update the README.md with instructions on how to set up the development environment.

• Document the project's overall structure and any initial decisions made. Acceptance Criteria:

• The backend and frontend are set up with their respective frameworks.

• The project has a clear and organized directory structure.

• The .gitignore file effectively excludes unnecessary files.

• The README.md contains setup instructions and a project overview.
