Scope the Project

Scope the Project

In this lesson — part of Plan — you'll learn scope the project in Elixir and why it matters in real work.

Why it matters

Starting a project the right way saves hours later — structure, version control, and a clear entry point.

Key ideas

• Create a clean project structure
• Initialize version control
• Define an entry point
• Track dependencies

In practice

Here's the idea in pseudocode — the exact syntax varies by language:

# new Elixir project
mkdir my-app && cd my-app
git init

Try it yourself

Exercise: Scaffold a new Elixir project with a clear folder structure and a git repository.

Recap

You now understand scope the project and can apply it in Elixir. Mark this lesson complete and continue to the next one.
