Issues:

  • 8 top-level folders + 9 files = cluttered root
  • Not immediately clear which folders are for which implementation
  • Shared resources mixed at root level

Benefits:

  • 3 top-level folders + documentation files = clean root
  • Clear purpose: development/ vs production/ vs shared/
  • Better organization: All shared resources in one place
  • Easier navigation: Developers know exactly where to look
  • Consistent naming: Matches the project's description of TypeScript for development and C++ for production

Migration Summary

Folder Renames

  • dbal/ts/dbal/development/
  • dbal/cpp/dbal/production/

Consolidated into shared/

  • dbal/api/dbal/shared/api/
  • dbal/backends/dbal/shared/backends/
  • dbal/common/dbal/shared/common/
  • dbal/tools/dbal/shared/tools/
  • dbal/scripts/dbal/shared/scripts/
  • dbal/docs/dbal/shared/docs/

Files Reorganized

  • Historical implementation docs moved to shared/docs/
  • Core documentation remains at root
  • Each implementation has its own .gitignore

References Updated

  • 80+ files updated across entire project
  • 0 old references remaining
  • All workflows, documentation, and code updated
