File/Folder | Description  
---|---
`starterkit` |  The root folder that contains Metronic Laravel folder.   
`_keenthemes` |  This is a Core folder for Keenthemes products.   
`src` |  The source folder which located the raw version of HTML templates. The assets will be used for assets bundling.   
`tools` |  The build tools for assets.   
`app` |  It organizes your application components. It's got subdirectories that hold the view (views and helpers), controller (controllers), and the backend business logic (models).   
`bootstrap` |  The `bootstrap` directory contains the `app.php` file which bootstraps the framework. This directory also houses a `cache` directory which contains framework generated files for performance optimization such as the route and services cache files. You should not typically need to modify any files within this directory.   
`config` |  The `config` directory, as the name implies, contains all of your application's configuration files. It's a great idea to read through all of these files and familiarize yourself with all of the options available to you.   
`database` |  The `database` directory contains your database migrations, model factories, and seeds. If you wish, you may also use this directory to hold an SQLite database   
`public` |  Like the public directory for a web server, this directory has web files that don't change, such as JavaScript files (public/javascripts), graphics (public/images), stylesheets (public/stylesheets), and HTML files (public).   
`resources` |  The `resources` directory contains your [views](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/views) as well as your raw, un-compiled assets such as CSS or JavaScript. This directory also houses all of your language files.   
`routes` |  The `routes` directory contains all of the route definitions for your application. By default, several route files are included with Laravel: `web.php`, `api.php`, `console.php`, and `channels.php`.   
`storage` |  The `storage` directory contains your logs, compiled Blade templates, file based sessions, file caches, and other files generated by the framework. This directory is segregated into `app`, `framework`, and `logs`directories. The `app` directory may be used to store any files generated by your application. The `framework` directory is used to store framework generated files and caches. Finally, the `logs` directory contains your application's log files. The `storage/app/public` directory may be used to store user-generated files, such as profile avatars, that should be publicly accessible. You should create a symbolic link at `public/storage` which points to this directory. You may create the link using the `php artisan storage:link` Artisan command.  
`tests` |  The `tests` directory contains your automated tests. Example [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) unit tests and feature tests are provided out-of-the-box. Each test class should be suffixed with the word `Test`. You may run your tests using the `phpunit` or `php vendor/bin/phpunit` commands. Or, if you would like a more detailed and beautiful representation of your test results, you may run your tests using the `php artisan test` Artisan command.  
`vendor` |  The `vendor` directory contains your [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) dependencies.  
`.gitignore` |  A gitignore file specifies intentionally untracked files that Git should ignore. Files already tracked by Git are not affected   
`documentation.html` |  The documentation file.   
`README.md` |  README file as a quick guide that gives a detailed description
