I'm Ibe Naomi Amarachi,I'm a Nigerian and I currently live in Lagos,Nigeria. I'm a graduate of the African Leadership Xcelerator Software Engineering program (ALX SE), with specialization in backend web development and I'm applying for the "Moving Existing Tests to a Unit Testing Framework" project
Some of my projects that involve working with Shell,C and Git can be found here:
https://github.com/Amarajah/alx-system_engineering-devops
https://github.com/Amarajah/alx-low_level_programming
Git has been a part of my software engineering journey from day one and it's allowed me to collaborate with peers and also keep track of my personal projects. Currently Git uses end-to-end tests for error conditions that could easily be captured by unit tests, the project is aimed at turning end-to-end tests to unit tests, and I'd love to be a part of it
My microproject contribution is here:

And here is my updated contribution link after review by the Git community:

Below is my project timeline: (Of course I'd be very much willing to work with the community and mentors to edit it so it perfectly meets up to the community's expectations)
October 2, 2023 - October 30, 2023
Familiarizing myself with the community , mailing list and contributing my microproject
November 20, 2023 - December 4, 2023
Familiarizing myself with the already existing tests and also the chosen unit test framework
Do more research on the internship projects and find better ways to get it done in harmony with coding guidelines and community requirements
December 4, 2023 - December 31, 2023
First document the initial state of the test files, then make sure all test files conform to coding guidelines down to the tiniest details (e.g git/t/helper/test-write-cache.c and git/t/helper/test-advise.c have die() messages which do not conform to coding guidelines)
January 2, 2024 - January 31, 2024
Run the tests and verify they still work as originally intended
Begin migrations of test files
Test migrated files and make necessary changes based on feedback received from teammates and mentors
February 1, 2024 - March 1, 2024
Continue testing migrated files and making necessary changes based on feedback received from teammates and mentors
Document each step and request for reviews from teammates and mentors
Tidy up the project,make sure all necessary files are migrated, they all work as intended, they are well documented and that there are no conflicts
