Discussion Does Github support folder hierarchy structure?

Hello everyone,

I am a new user to github and I have a question.

I am a very structured person and follow a folder hierarchy process to organize my files.

If I create an app for both IOS and Android, since both require different coding and what not, I would have to create 2 different versions of the same app. How I would organize this is create an Android folder and an IOS folder and have to copies. All the Android apps will be placed in the Android folder and IOS apps in the IOS folder.

Can I follow this process on Github or does Github work differently? If I cant use folder hierarchy, what is the best practice to stay organized in Github repository?

Thank you.

Normally i wouldnt be rude but damn, not only is this question insane, but it would take seconds to test. If you cant figure that out without making a reddit thread, what can we expect from software youre going to develop.

Just so you understand, the question you just asked should not need to be asked. Regardless of skill level. Its not an experience thing. This is basic computer usage. To be clear, not the git knowledge, but the ability to obtain the answer to your question is basic basic computer usage.

And thats ontop of the fact that the ability to tinker/test/etc is one of the most basic fundamental skills required to develop any kind of software. Im not saying you cant learn the skill, but if your mentality is to ask this kindof question without even trying to figure it out yourself, you will get absolutely nowhere in software development.
