Subject: [PATCH] Remove gitconfig template and implement git configuration
 directly in InitCommand

- Deleted the gitconfig.txt template file from the project templates.
- Updated the InitCommand to set git configuration options directly using the `git config` command, enhancing the initialization process by eliminating the need for a separate configuration file.

These changes streamline the git initialization process and improve the overall setup experience.
