This PR adds proper version control hygiene to the Course Management System repository by implementing a comprehensive .gitignore file and removing compiled artifacts from tracking.

Changes Made

Added .gitignore File

Created a comprehensive .gitignore file to exclude:

  • Compiled Java class files (*.class)
  • Package files (*.jar, *.war, *.ear)
  • IDE-specific files (.idea/, .vscode/, etc.)
  • OS-specific files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)

Repository Cleanup

  • Removed all compiled .class files from version control
  • These files were previously tracked but should be generated during build time
  • The .gitignore ensures they won't be accidentally committed in the future

Verification

The Course Management System continues to work perfectly after these changes:

javac *.java
java Main

Output:

=== Course Management System ===
Module: Computer Science Course
  Module: Programming Fundamentals
  Lesson: Java Basics | Duration: 2 hours | Instructor: Prof. Smith
  Lesson: OOP Concepts | Duration: 3 hours | Instructor: Prof. Johnson
  Lesson: Data Structures | Duration: 4 hours | Instructor: Prof. Brown

Why This Matters

  • Clean Repository: Only source code and documentation are now tracked
  • Build Reproducibility: Compiled artifacts are generated fresh each time
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Avoids issues with class files compiled on different Java versions
  • Best Practices: Follows standard Java project conventions for version control

The core implementation of the Composite Design Pattern remains unchanged and fully functional.
