Repository & version setup

Use when: Technical prerequisites pass — ready to import CodeCanyon ZIP.
Source procedure: Peels S02, S03, S04 checklists → setup-new phases 2–4.

Repository init 💻

• CodeCanyon ZIP extracted to project root
• .gitignore includes vendor noise + .env
• Initial vendor commit on main (T1 baseline)
• author/vX.X.X branch + author-vX.X.X tag created
• Pushed to GitHub; default branch protected

Version management 👤/💻

• Semver policy documented (your line vs vendor snapshots)
• CHANGELOG.md started (Keep a Changelog format)
• ProjectLog.md or equivalent decision log created
• Package/app version metadata aligned with tag

Environment templates 💻

• .env.example reviewed; secrets not committed
• Staging/production .env templates stored in vault — not in Git

Sign-off

• GitHub shows T1 + author tag
• Team agrees on branch strategy (version control guide)
