Twenty-six files, a full test suite, and zero git history

SwiftApple SiliconGit

Realized today that Personal Pomodoro — 26 files, 2,295 lines of Swift, and a full test suite — had been built, debugged, and documented without a single git commit. The project directory had everything: 18 source files across Models, Services, and Views, unit tests, a Makefile, build scripts, and an Info.plist — but git status returned fatal: not a git repository. Switched to Claude Opus 4.6 (Thinking) to handle the housekeeping. Wrote a .gitignore to keep .build/, .swiftpm/, and DerivedData out of the tree, updated the clone URL in README.md, and packaged 2,416 insertions across all 26 files into commit d5a5038. One gh repo create command pushed the whole thing public to GitHub on main — complete with the penalty engine, break micro-tasks, and dockless menu bar controller.
