+# Sample Project
+
+This is as an example on how teams can structure their project repositories. Thanks to Lindsey Heagey and Joachim Meyer for the template, provided originally for [Geohackweek](https://github.com/geohackweek/sample_project_repository).
+
+## Files
+
+* `.gitignore`
+<br> Globally ignored files by `git` for the project.
+* `environment.yml`
+<br> `conda` environment description needed to run this project.
+* `README.md`
+<br> Description of the project. [Sample](https://geohackweek.github.io/wiki/github_project_management.html#project-guidelines)
+
+## Folders
+
+### `contributors`
+Each team member has it's own folder under contributors, where he/she can
+work on their contribution. Having a dedicated folder for one-self helps to 
+prevent conflicts when merging with master.
+
+### `notebooks`
+Notebooks that are considered delivered results for the project should go in
+here.
+
+### `scripts`
+Helper utilities that are shared with the team
+
