Project-Template README

Project Structure

project-template\
- README.md
- .gitignore
- docs\
- src\
- experiments\
- scratch\

There are two files:

• README.md - a text or markdown file detailing the project layout
• .gitignore - a configuration file of which files git should ignore

There are 4 directories:

• docs - for LaTeX documents and final figures
• src - for source code and unit tests
• experiments - for scripts
• scratch - for temporary figures/data

docs

The docs\ directory is for LaTeX write-ups. For example:

docs\
- conference-paper-20XX\
- main.tex
- main.pdf
- figures\
- fig1.png
- conference-poster\
- poster.tex

src

The src\ directory is for source code.

For example in Python:

src\
- module_name\
- __init__.py
- module_name.py
- helper.py
- test\
- module_test.py
- setup.py

Where module_name\ is a subdirectory containing your Python module's code, test\ is a subdirectory for unit tests.

experiments

The experiments\ directory is for other code (such as for experiments, analysis, figures).
