Initial Repo Setup #4

Closed mbrzus closed 7 months ago

Documentation Location

This documentation issue is related to the initial setup of our repository.

Type of Documentation Issue

This is an enhancement documentation issue.

Issue Description

As part of our high-level software engineering philosophy, we need to establish a solid foundation for our project. This includes creating an initial README file, adding a license file, and defining the coding environment by including a requirements.txt file.

Suggested Changes

  1. README File: Create an initial README file that provides a brief overview of the project, its purpose, and basic usage instructions. Include information on how to set up and run the project.

  2. License File: Add a license file (e.g., MIT License) to specify the terms under which our project is distributed and used.

  3. requirements.txt File: Define the project's coding environment by creating a requirements.txt file that lists the necessary dependencies and their versions. This ensures consistent development environments across team members.

Additional Context

Establishing these foundational elements is essential for ensuring that our project is well-documented, legally compliant, and easy to set up for developers. It aligns with the best practices of high-level software engineering.

Proposed Solution

  1. Create a new README.md file in the root directory of the repository. Populate it with relevant project information, including a brief description, usage guidelines, and setup instructions.

  2. Add a license file (e.g., LICENSE.md) to the repository, specifying the chosen open-source license terms.

  3. Create a requirements.txt file in the root directory, listing the necessary dependencies and their versions. This file should be regularly updated to reflect changes in project dependencies.

Additional Comments

Establishing these initial documentation and coding environment standards will not only enhance the professionalism of our project but also contribute to its long-term success by providing clear guidance to developers and users. Let's ensure that we adhere to the principles of high-level software engineering in this process.
