# Pitchfork

Pitchfork is a set of conventions for native C and C++ projects. The most

prominent being [the project layout conventions](https://api.csswg.org/bikeshed/?force=1&url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vector-of-bool/pitchfork/develop/data/spec.bs).

The layout specification document is available in `data/spec.bs`.

## Why the Name *Pitchfork*?

The very first public unveiling, drafting, and discussion of these project

conventions started with [a Reddit thread entitled "Prepare thy Pitchforks"](https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/996q8o/prepare_thy_pitchforks_a_de_facto_standard/). Until

that point, I had not chosen any particular name for the conventions, but I

felt "Pitchfork" was as apt a name as any.

## The `pf` Tool

This repository also hosts a (currently experimental) tool that helps you

create and work with Pitchfork-compliant projects.

This project is still very young and has a while to go before being a useful

developer tool. Once ready, this README will be updated with proper user

documentation.

## The `pf` Library

The `pf` tool mentioned above is built upon the `pf` library, also hosted in

this repository. This library can be used to query and manipulate

Pitchfork-compliant projects.
