The Adaptive Filesystem

Having trouble packaging or working with various filesystem hierarchy layouts simultaneously, especially when dealing with BSD, Linux, Windows, and MacOS? Are you looking for an adaptive filesystem that fits into all of them, simplifying your software product with a single layout? This is the right research repository.

At (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho's The Adaptive Filesystem Research Project, tech volunteers are continuously updating the repository's datasets and abstracting the three vital layouts:

• Common - the common structure used everywhere, including operating systems, project repositories, and package designs.
• Root - the operating system filesystem hierarchy.
• User - the user directory layout.

The research goals are simple:

1. Maximizing Compatibilities, Minimizing Conflicts - analyzes and abstracts various standards for common patterns. Through these patterns, a new layout is defined, maximizing inter-compatibilities and minimizing conflicts across multiple operating systems; AND
2. Unifying Filesystems - with a single adaptive filesystem, packaging software and distributing it to end-users is simplified and unified, making maintenance, automation, documentation, and communications seamless; AND
3. Solid and Hygienic Design References - with an adaptive filesystem, this repository becomes a lighthouse for designing any project layout structures, architecting operating system directory layouts, and defining a simplified and secure packaging system.

This repository is 100% deterministic with futuristic directive consequences. It is 100% human-made, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) contributions (e.g., vibe coding) ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED. AI is ONLY USED for static analysis and writing grammar corrections.

Remember, THIS REPOSITORY IS A DESIGN REFERENCE, NOT RELIGIOUS RULES. In other words, they are OPINIONS.

The adaptive filesystem currently studies the following operating systems for its unification:

• Apple's iOS
• Apple's MacOS
• FreeBSD
• Linux-based OSes
• Microsoft Windows
• MVC|MVP Project Architectures
• MVVM Project Architectures
• VIPER Project Architectures

To use this dataset, first set up the markdown rendering git repository server, for example:

https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/research-the-adaptive-filesystem

Then, you can browse each directory and read its README.md documentation describing its roles and responsibilities.

You can also use a UNIX program like tree to easily map out a directory hierarchy. The command is:

$ tree -a -d path/to/TARGET/
