title: Overall look at the directory structure
This image shows a big-picture look at the directory structure after one complete run of the pipeline.
Summary of when each directory is used
Most of this information, though publicly available on the Microsoft docs, is not very intuitive to a beginner. I hope that this table summarizes the usage of the most relevant directories.
| Directory | Uses | References |
|---|---|---|
| /a | This is the working director for agent a. | Agent.WorkFolder |
| /a/1/a | Artifact staging directory. This is where the VS Build task results are stored in. The publish build artifacts task creates an artifact of whatever is in this folder. Note - it gets purged before each new build. | Build.StagingDirectory, System.ArtifactsDirectory, Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory |
| /a/1/b | The output folder for compiled binaries. | Build.BinariesDirectory |
| /a/1/s | Source directory. This is the working directory and where your source code is stored. | Build.SourcesDirectory, System.DefaultWorkingDirectory |
