[GSoC] Introduction - Mansi, microproject t7605

Mansi Maanu· Feb 26, 2026, 20:56 UTC · lore

Hi,

My name is Mansi Singh. I am a Master's student in Information Systems at Northeastern University (Seattle) with 3+ years of software development experience at Nokia Solutions and Grant Thornton, where I built automation tools and AI assistants.

I am applying for GSoC 2026 and interested in the "Improve the git repo command" project idea.

As my microproject, I replaced old-style 'test -f' path checks with test_path_is_file helpers in t/t7605-merge-resolve.sh. All 4 tests pass after the change.

Patch submitted via GitGitGadget: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/2050

Email: mansimaanu8627@gmail.com
GitHub: https://github.com/MansiSingh17

Thanks,
Mansi
Pronouns: she/her

Can you stick to a single name when you present yourself to the community? We've seen a patch signed off by "Mansi", sent from a person with e-mail accout "Mansi Singh" via GitGitGadget, and now an introduction sent by "Mansi Maanu", signed "Mansi", identifying hearself as "Mansi Singh".

It is a bit too confising.

I presume that "Mansi Singh" is the most official name you want to present yourself as to this community? If so, please use that as the author identity and on the Signed-off-by: line of your patches.

Anyway, welcome to the community.
