No license?

I maintain a rule that all files above the repo must be inside a folder, with one exception: a README file. Including the code folder, this typically results in no more than 5 folders; the project folder itself is kept organized and uncluttered.

Don’t forget: entrepreneur, playboy, philanthropist.

They are the project’s subfolders (outside of the Git repo):

• code contains the source code; version-controlled with Git.
• wiki contains documentation and also version-controlled.
• designs contains GIMP, Inkscape or Krita save files.

This structure works for me since software projects involve more things than just the code, and you can add more subfolders according to your liking such as notes, pkgbuild (for Arch Linux), or releases.

I tend to follow this structure:

Projects
├── personal
│   └── project-name
│       ├── code
│       ├── designs
│       └── wiki
└── work
    └── project-name
        ├── code
        ├── designs
        └── wiki

• Free Software Foundation
• GNU
• Richard Stallman’s Personal Blog
• Savannah

And pretty much the rest of the FSF and GNU websites.
