Next Steps

Before First Commit

  1. Verify .gitignore is working:

    git status
# Should NOT show data/*.json, __pycache__, etc.

  2. Test installation on clean machine (optional):

    git clone <your-repo>
cd insights_first
pip install -r requirements.txt
modal setup

After Upload

  1. Add repository URL to README.md (replace <repository-url>)
  2. Consider adding:
    • LICENSE file
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • Example output snippets
    • Sample database schema SQL
    • GitHub Actions for CI/CD (optional)
