Most of the projects follow a single hierarchy as follows:
project
\_ conf\ --> configuration files (Unix/Linux projects might prefer an 'etc' folder)
\_ src\ --> main source (for C++ projects, headers and sources go along, but if
your project is a library then separating include files for others
is a better practice)
\_ src\module1\ --> for each sub module (for multiple files having related contents,
it is better to separate them to their own subfolders)
\_ doc\ --> documentation
\_ include\ --> (for library projects, the distributable include files)
\_ os\ --> OS (platform dependent) files (uch as makefiles, package building
scripts..)
\_ res\ --> resources required for compilation but not source files (icons, etc.)
\_ MAKEFILE --> makefile script for building the project
\_ README --> introductory document (might refer to doc\README)
\_ INSTALL --> Installation document (might refer to doc\INSTALL)
