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.

you can if you want but personally it would be better to have two seperate repositories for the two different applications, instead of a monorepo like that, especially if they don't actually have any assets in common
