GitHub에 repository가 너무 많을 때 관리하는 방법

Claude에 아래와 같이 질문을 해보았다.

참고로 대형 프로젝트에 적합하며, 사용자(개발자)가 많을 때 유용한 방법이다.

 

"Is there a way to organize github projects with folders?"

 

Yes, there are a few ways to organize GitHub projects using folder-like structures:

1. Repositories Themselves
- Each repository can have folders (directories) to organize code
- Use a clear folder structure like:

/src          # Source code
/docs         # Documentation
/tests        # Test files
/assets       # Images, etc.


2. GitHub Organizations
- Create an organization to group related repositories
- Useful for teams or large projects
- Acts like a folder containing multiple repositories

3. Repository Topics
- Add topics (tags) to repositories
- Makes them searchable and organizable by theme

4. GitHub Projects
- Use GitHub Projects board to organize work
- Can group multiple repositories into one project view
- Create custom views and groupings

5. Repository Template Feature:
- Create template repositories for common structures
- Use consistent organization across projects

Best Practices:
- Use clear, descriptive folder names
- Keep a consistent structure across projects
- Include a README in each main folder
- Don't nest folders too deeply (3-4 levels max)

 

끝으로 개인 프로젝트를 구분할 수 있는 topic을 추가함으로써 여러 repository들을 관리할 수도 있다.

Classifying your repository with topics - GitHub Docs

To help other people find and contribute to your project, you can add topics to your repository related to your project's intended purpose, subject area, affinity groups, or other important qualities.
