folder structure
Nested file arrangement
Folder structure is the hierarchical arrangement of directories and subdirectories used to organize files on a computer or storage system.
A well-designed folder structure makes files easy to locate and maintain: The project's folder structure separates assets, source code, and documentation.
Poor folder structure leads to chaos—files scattered without logic, duplicates proliferating, nothing findable without search.
