# Premise

Originally, there was an Idea, that two or three drunk friends make a game...
that's it.

I dunno.

# Repo Structure

Repository structure is fixed, and it only has a few toplevel directories. Every other directory or file is ignored.

- `/Source`
- `/Config`
- `/Plugins`
- `/Content`
- `/RawContent`

`git-lfs` management rules are mostly defined for file types, and not _paths_, however there can entire paths marked to be managed by `git-lfs`. Without a special note, expect only type-based rules apply to a directory.

## `/Source`

C++ source code is stored under the `/Source` path. As with most other directories, this directory is managed by standard git (and not `git-lfs`). That means no blobs. Do not put here any `.dll`s, `.exe`s, `.zip`s and other binaries. Only text files are allowed.
Generated text files can reside in the local `/Source` dir, but should be ignored by git with additional entries in `.gitignore`.

## `/Config`

Engine and game config files.

## `/Plugins`

Game plugins. Every plugin lives in a subdirectory of the `/Plugins` dir. A plugin internal directory structure is not strictly documented, so there are no assumptions on how a plugin is structured.
It may be useful to use git submodules to manage plugins in a more robust manner.
It is expected that each plugin will have it's own `.gitignore` file in it's subdirectory, as well other required specific git tweaks.

## `/Content`

Game assets in Unreal Engine formats, `.uasset` and `.umap`. Only those two file types are allowed, everything else is ignored.

## `/RawContent`

**This directory is managed entirely by `git-lfs`.**

`/RawContent` is a directory where you store assets in their source formats, in contrast to `/Content`, where assets are stored in the engine format (after the import). Having an asset in a source format is useful when you're still making updates to it. It may be a good idea to also have separate repos for managing work-in-progress assets (maybe in smaller collections or even idividually).
