Sorry for maybe a dumb question - but once I've already run init and made a project, lets say i want to add the data folders later. Is there a way to do that after the project has been setup?

• Yes, you can manually create

data

folder in the root of the project, and then add whatever subfolders you want. In this case you may also want to manually add

.gitkeep

file to add subfolders, to that the folder structure is checked in to version control. • If you want to get the exact setup that Kedro would create during project init, easiest way would be to create a second Kedro project, cut and paste the

data

folder from it to your original project, and delete that second one.

Interesting - so if you decide to do a minimal init in the initial project, there is no way to just add it later easily? I figured I was missing some easy Kedro add command or something

As far as I know there’s no CLI command to add a data folder post initialization, yes

Thanks!

hi @Greg Vaslo! there's no such thing as a dumb question 😄

Sorry @Juan Luis I just saw your github response and meant to give it another try. I was actually curious about this before my question on github because on my first install I forgot to pick something and insisted to myself there was a way to load it after the fact but I guess there was not. This was pre-uv stuff but was relevant to the question from yesterday too 🙂

ah got it, thanks for the extra context! past discussion https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/3689
