-The `LBMC/nextflow` project is structured as follow:
-- all the code is in the [`src/`](./src) folder
-- scripts downloading external tools should download them in the [`bin/`](./bin) folder
-- all the documentation (except the README.md and this file) can be found int he [`doc/`](./doc) folder
-- the [`data`](./data) and [`results`](./results) folders contain the data and results of your piplines and are ignored by `git`

 ## Code structure
 
-The [`src/`](./src) folder is where we want to save the pipline (`.nf`) script. This folder also contains:
-- the [`src/install_nextflow.sh`](./src/install_nextflow.sh) to install the nextflow executable at the root of the project.

 - some pipelines examples (like the one build during the nf_pratical)
-- the [`src/nextflow.config`](./src/nextflow.config) global configuration file which contains the `docker`, `singularity`, `psmn` and `ccin2p3` profiles.
-- the [`src/nf_modules`](./src/nf_modules/) folder contains per tools `main.nf` modules with predefined process that users can imports in their projects with the [DSL2](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/dsl2.html)

 But also some hidden folders that users don't need to see when building their pipeline:
-- the [`src/.docker_modules`](./src/.docker_modules) contains the recipies for the `docker` containers used in the `src/nf_modules/<tool_names>/main.nf` files
-- the [`src/.singularity_in2p3`](./src/.singularity_in2p3) and [`src/.singularity_psmn`](./src/.singularity_psmn) are symbolic links to the shared folder where the singularity images are downloaded on the [PSMN](http://www.ens-lyon.fr/PSMN/doku.php) and [CCIN2P3](https://login.cc.in2p3.fr/)
