blank_project_repository

A blank project repository for folder structure and naming guidance. The confidentiality_agreement.md can be posted as an issue and each student in the repository must sign it after getting access or their access will be removed.

High-level folders

  • personal_folders - This folder has a folder named [lastnamefirstnameletter] for each person on the project.
  • results - contains the deliverables from the project.
  • scripts - contains the final scripts that built the items in the results folder. Each script should be concise and mapped to the deliverables in the results folder.
  • raw_data has files that are smaller than 100mb provided by the client. Note that a data folder can be created in the repository and that it will be ignored for data larger than 100mb.
  • derived_data has derived data files. Each script should start from a file in the raw_data or data folder and create an item in this folder. The script that created the derived data object would be in the scripts folder and could have the same name as the derived data object.
  • documents contains a folder for the project proposal and any other reference_material.

Further Action

We need to build out the default guidance in the readme.md in each folder.
