How to Structure C Projects: These Best Practices Worked for Me

The author shares their experience of structuring C projects in a way that is easy to maintain and build. They found best practices by researching popular open-source projects and sources like GitHub, Reddit, and Stack Overflow. While opinions on project layout vary, two common approaches are “modular” for large projects and “flat” for small projects. The author decided to use the “flat” approach and details their directory layout, including src, include, lib, and tests directories. The post covers specific details of structuring the C projects, such as how to organize source files, header files, third-party libraries, and tests. The author encourages readers to adapt these ideas to their own projects.
