✅ How to create a folder in project root?

Hi, I am trying to put the project library/libraries in a src folder. I can only create a solution folder. The files are only structured that way if I the project is opened with an IDE, otherwise those solution folders do not exist if viewed with file explorer. Is this really how a project is structured? Let's say I have 5 libraries and 3 other test libraries. This way if I went to the git repository all the class libraries would be mixed. How could I create a src and test folder in project root? Is that even possible?

its absolutely possible, but you need to do it outside of visual studio the simplest way is just to just create the folders manually, remove all project dependencies, move your projects as you want them, re-link them the solution file is old and bad, we're about to get a new format for it soon thank god
