Description
Currently, the repository includes __pycache__ directories, even though it is included in .gitignore, which contain Python bytecode files (.pyc). These files are generated automatically during runtime and are not needed in the source code. Including them can cause unnecessary clutter and potential conflicts across different environments.
Proposed Solution:
- Edit the following line to the
.gitignorefile to prevent__pycache__from being tracked:__pycache__/ - Remove all existing
__pycache__directories from the repository:git rm -r --cached **/__pycache__

Research direction
Start by checking the repository’s .gitignore entry and locating the tracked pycache directories. Use the proposed git rm command to remove the generated directories from the repository, then verify that no pycache or .pyc files remain tracked and that the ignore rule prevents them from being re-added.
