Repo created for a Java I course
A lesson learned about file stucture appearance in VSCode and on GitHub:
If you have nested folders in your project, VSCode and GitHub will will display them "in-line" like so:
- π folder1/nested_folder
I would prefer to see this:
- π folder
- π nested_folder
- π another_nested_folder
- π nested_folder
This is not really a big deal, unless you have a list of folders with only one sticking out like a sore thumb:
- π folder1
- π folder2
- π folder3/nested_folder
- π folder4
- π folder5
Grrrr! Houston, we have a problem!
After much gnashing of persnickety teeth, the answer is simple: make sure the nested folder is not the only object in the root folder!
Taking the above example, we can just add an "invisible" empty .gitkeep file, or any other type of file or another folder, to correct the abberation:
- π folder3
- π .gitkeep
- π nested_folder
Now your folders will look nice and tidy from the repository level:
- π folder1
- π folder2
- π folder3
- π folder4
- π folder5
Hope this helps! Bye for now! ππΌ
