# Workspace Organization

> Strategies for organizing your Auk workspaces effectively

## Organization Strategies

Choose an organization strategy that fits your workflow:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="By Project" icon="folder">
    Separate workspace per project
  </Card>

  <Card title="By Client" icon="building">
    One workspace per client
  </Card>

  <Card title="By Environment" icon="layer-group">
    Dev, staging, production workspaces
  </Card>

  <Card title="By Team" icon="users">
    One workspace per team
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## By Project

Organize workspaces by project:

```
~/Auk/
├── project-alpha/
│   ├── collections/
│   │   ├── backend-api.json
│   │   └── frontend-api.json
│   └── environments/
│       ├── dev.json
│       └── prod.json
├── project-beta/
└── project-gamma/
```

**Best for:**

* Multiple independent projects
* Different tech stacks
* Separate teams per project

## By Client

Organize by client or customer:

```
~/Auk/
├── client-acme/
├── client-globex/
├── client-initech/
└── internal/
```

**Best for:**

* Consulting/agency work
* Multiple clients
* Client-specific configurations

## By Environment

Separate workspaces by environment:

```
~/Auk/
├── development/
├── staging/
└── production/
```

**Best for:**

* Testing environment-specific configurations
* Preventing accidental production changes
* Clear environment separation

## Collection Organization

### Folder Structure

Organize requests into logical folders:

```
User Management API
├── Authentication
│   ├── Login
│   ├── Logout
│   └── Refresh Token
├── Users
│   ├── List Users
│   ├── Create User
│   ├── Get User
│   ├── Update User
│   └── Delete User
└── Roles
    ├── List Roles
    └── Assign Role
```

### Naming Conventions

Use consistent naming:

**Collections:**

* `User Management API`
* `Payment Processing API`
* `Notification Service API`

**Requests:**

* `GET /users - List Users`
* `POST /users - Create User`
* `PUT /users/:id - Update User`

## Environment Management

### Environment Strategy

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Separate Files">
    One file per environment:

    ```
    environments/
    ├── development.json
    ├── staging.json
    └── production.json
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Shared + Override">
    Base environment + overrides:

    ```
    environments/
    ├── base.json
    ├── dev-override.json
    └── prod-override.json
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Use Descriptive Names">
    Clear, descriptive names for everything:

    * Workspaces
    * Collections
    * Requests
    * Environments
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Keep It Simple">
    Don't over-organize:

    * Start simple
    * Add structure as needed
    * Avoid deep nesting
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Document Your Structure">
    Add README.md to workspaces:

    ```markdown theme={null}
    # Team API Collections

    ## Structure
    - `auth/` - Authentication endpoints
    - `users/` - User management
    - `payments/` - Payment processing

    ## Environments
    - `dev` - Local development
    - `staging` - Staging server
    - `prod` - Production (use carefully!)
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
