SPDX-FileCopyrightText and SPDX-License-Identifier license headers have been added to the top of the scorecard.yml file. The headers pertain to the 2022 copyright of Winni Neessen and define the license to be CC0-1.0.
A codecov.yml configuration file has been added to specify the coverage target and other codecov settings. The CI pipeline has also been streamlined to directly generate the coverage profile without using grep for filtering ignored code paths. This makes it easier to understand and maintain the testing and coverage reporting process.
The codecov workflow in the CI pipeline has been adjusted to produce more accurate coverage profiles. Previously covered but now-ignored code has been removed from the coverage profile by filtering out desired patterns with 'grep'.
Added a new workflow in '.github/workflows/codecov.yml' that runs on all three OS: Ubuntu, MacOS, and Windows with '1.22' version of Go. This workflow performs a test coverage check and then uploads the coverage data to Codecov. The workflow is activated on every 'push' or 'pull request' to the 'main' branch.
This commit introduces the .gitignore configuration file and adds SPDX headers to several files including test and documentation files. The headers provide license information in a standardized format which can be easily picked up by automated tools for license compliance checks. Additionally, it deleted a .idea/.gitignore file, which is a project specific IDE configuration file not necessary for the repository. It also introduced a README.md file providing more insightful information about the project.
