Project Structure

The anatomy of a PipeRider project.

When initializing a new PipeRider project, a folder called .piperider will be created in the root of your project.

After using the various features of PipeRider this folder will become populated with the following files and folders.

File/Folder name	Description

outputs/	The data profiling and the report output generated by piperider run
comparisons/	Reports generated by piperider compare-report
.gitignore	The default .gitignore file. Generated by piperider init. Please see git versioning.
