repository structure #23

Open mikelovic opened 6 years ago

@case06 @DhavalGambhava for a clean repo structure I want to propose following structure: .../LibreSolarBox/...

so the main folder would be components and design. in components we should list all possible components we can integrate in the box. in designs we should list all possible design how the components can be connected and enclosed.

feedback and suggestions are welcomed :) thx

i am fine with the folder-structure but be aware that a repo may have dependend local-repos (upstream, downstream) and you have to make sure, that within them everything changes accordingly (automatically) if they try to synchronize.

So a suggestion: Make a separate repo for the V2-Version and introduce there the suggested folder structure from the scratch. "box-designs" then can contain instead different sub-versions.

An ohter/additional suggestion: Make a script that creates the new folder structure and moves files around, fully automated. It can then be applied in forks, braches, and even to multiple/all commits in different git histories. It could be used to make a V2 repo, while keeping the (altored) project history.

This approach worked well for me in the past. one can continually apply the script to the old repo automatically, while still developing the script, until one is happy with the result, and while development is still going on in the project repo itsself.
