Repository Structure

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. The layout and organizational pattern of files, modules, documentation, and automation within a repository. In team environments, repository structure is one of the first things that communicates whether a codebase is approachable or chaotic.

    In plain English: The organizational layout of a repository.

    Example: "The repository structure was reorganized around products and shared libraries so ownership boundaries were visible in the filesystem instead of just in tribal memory."
