Folder
also: folders, directory, directories
A named container that holds files and other folders, so a project stays organized. Developers often call a folder a "directory".
A directory in the file system that groups files and subdirectories. Projects use folder structure to organize code, and a file's location is written as a path, such as src/components/Button.tsx.
Folders are the drawers of a filing cabinet. Each drawer holds related documents, and some drawers have smaller dividers inside.
Agents refer to locations like "the components folder" or "src/pages". Understanding folders helps you follow where things live and notice when your agent puts new code somewhere odd.
I created a new folder, src/emails, and moved the three email templates into it so they're easier to find.
Before adding new files, look at how the existing folders are organized and follow the same structure.
Thinking "folder" and "directory" are different things. They are two names for the same thing; "directory" is just the more technical word.
