# Configure your Git repository

This is an optional section, and you can (and should if you have more experience with Git than me) have a different folder structure.

What I usually do is have three folders with different purposes, as in the image:

![Git repo folders](http://ariste.info/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-2.png)
Git repo folders

First, I have the **Metadata** folder. Here I have my custom code, including custom and extension models.

Then I have a **Projects** folder where I save the Visual Studio solutions and projects.

And finally, I have a **Tools** folder. Here I have:

- **Build**: this folder contains the nuget.config and packages.config files used for the build.
- **Pipelines**: contains the [YAML files](http://ariste.info/dynamics365almguide/yaml-pipelines/) for the pipelines.

The content of the other sections is always based on this folder structure. If you use a different one, keep in mind you might have to change some things in the pipeline definitions, for example.
