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:
\nCommon - 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:
\nThis 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.
\nRemember, THIS REPOSITORY IS A DESIGN REFERENCE, NOT RELIGIOUS RULES. In other words, they are OPINIONS.
\n\n\nCaution
\nDO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELIGIOUSLY ENFORCE your project layout based on this repository. IN NO WAY does this project force anyone to strictly adhere to these as rules.
\nFanaticism destroys. Please act responsibly and sensibly. Adapt and reference.

The adaptive filesystem currently studies the following operating systems for its unification:
\niOSMacOSLinux-based OSesWindowsImportant
\nFor Linux-based OSes, this is the consolidated version of all its major distributions including but not limited to SystemD, FreeDesktop.org, Red Hat Linux, Debian, Devuan, Void Linux, Fedora, etc.

To use this dataset, first set up the markdown rendering git repository server, for example:
\nhttps://github.com/ChewKeanHo/research-the-adaptive-filesystem
\nThen, 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:
\n$ tree -a -d path/to/TARGET/\n\n
