Pitchfork is a set of conventions for native C and C++ projects, best known for its project directory layout specification. The repository also hosts an experimental pf tool and pf library for creating and manipulating Pitchfork-compliant projects.

Use cases

• how to structure a C++ project directory layout
• standard folder conventions for C and C++ projects
• where to put headers, sources, and tests in a C++ project
• de facto standard C++ project layout for CMake builds
• scaffold a new C++ project with a conventional layout
• organize and name directories in native C/C++ codebases

When to choose

• you are starting a new C or C++ project and want a widely recognized directory structure
• you want consistency across multiple C++ codebases or open-source contributions
• you want a layout that works well with CMake and typical native build setups

When to avoid

• you need working tooling today - the pf CLI and library are explicitly experimental
• you need a build system, package manager, or compiler - Pitchfork only defines conventions
• your project already follows a different established layout and migrating would not pay off
