Creating a well-organized folder structure for your software projects is essential for maintaining clarity and efficiency. Here's a suggested folder structure that you can adapt and customize based on your specific needs:
Root Folder (Project Name): Keep the name of your project here.
Documentation (docs): Store all project documentation, including requirements, design documents, user manuals, and any other relevant information.
Source Code (src): Divide this into subfolders based on the programming languages or frameworks used in your project.
For example:
- Java
- Python
- JavaScript
- C#
Tests (test): Include all test-related files, such as unit tests, integration tests, and test data.
Configurations (config): Store configuration files for your project, including environment-specific configurations, build configurations, and any other necessary settings.
Resources (resources): Keep all project resources such as images, icons, audio files, or any other assets used in your software.
Tools (tools): Store any tools or utilities specific to your project, such as scripts, build tools, or custom software.
Deployment (deploy): Include deployment scripts, configuration files, and any other resources needed for deploying your software.
Miscellaneous (misc): This folder can be used for any additional files or resources that don't fit into the other categories.
Remember, this is just a suggested structure. Feel free to customize it based on your project's specific requirements and workflow.
