🛠 git-temp: local scratchpads for AI agents in Git

The open-source tool git-temp has been released to create local "scratchpads" within Git repositories. It creates a folder (defaulting to temp/) that is visible to editors and AI agents but is automatically hidden from Git via .git/info/exclude. This allows AI agents to store temporary scripts, logs, and notes without cluttering git status.

🌍 It solves the problem of workspace "pollution" when using autonomous AI agents by providing them with a dedicated, indexable, but non-tracked Git space for experiments.

👤 It allows for more efficient use of AI assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot) without the fear that their temporary files will end up in the repository or mess up the commit history.
