Initialize Data Project Script
This script creates the following subdirectories within a (new) project directory.
- /build/input
- /build/output
- /build/code
- /build/temp
- /analysis/input
- /analysis/output
- /analysis/code
- /analysis/temp
It also initializes an empty run_directory.sh script and an empty README.md file.
This is in line with the recommendations made by Matthew Gentzkow and Jess Shapiro (2014).
