We read very often how to have a good architecture for a .NET project, but I don't read very often how to structure the folders of the project.

You might think it's a minor problem, but it's also important to have a good folder structure and especially one that is always the same, to make it easier to find things at a glance and also to make it easier for other people to get into the project faster.

In the picture below you can see my typical structure of a project.

Let's see what each item is.

• artifacts: where the build.cmd script puts the artifacts
• build: build customizations
• docs: markdown files, installation instructions, help files. I use this folder to put the Docusaurus project
• lib: if you have a custom library outside of NuGet, you can copy the files here
• samples: sample projects to use your solution or projects
• src: the code of your projects
• tests: all the tests projects live here
• .editorconfig: coding styles and other settings for your environment
• .gitignore: I think you don't need a description about it
• build.cmd: the script to build the project and create artifacts (I don't use it very often)
• LICENSE: the license file of your project. Useful especially for GitHub
• Project001.sln: the solution file of your projects
• README.md: useful for GitHub but also to give an overview of the project to the other people involved

Out of my curiosity: do you have a fixed structure for projects like me?
