问题
Are there any resources that can help me better understand the meaning and the roles of files in each folder in a Katalon project?
回答1:
Most of the folder names are named after what they contain such as Scripts, Reports, Test Cases, Test Suites. Was there a specific folder you wanted more information on?
Still, if you want to learn more https://www.katalon.com/resources-center/tutorials/
you will be able to find tutorials.

I myself am looking for such a resource. I cannot find one1, so I'd like to create one here, based on experience and empiric knowledge.
Profiles: stores profiles used to run test cases, should be managed by Katalon Studio
Test Cases: Contains test cases placeholders in form of XML files with a custom extension. All files in here should be managed by Katalon Studio.
Object Repository: Stores Test Objects that user creates via the Kalatno Studio GUI.
Test Suites: Similar to Test Cases, uses the same strategy for Test Suites. Different types of Test Suites will generate different types of files.
Data Files: Used to store data files (e.g. excel data sheets).
Checkpoints: Stores checkpoints, should be managed by Katalon Studio
Keywords: Stores Keywords, mostly user-created via Katalon Studio GUI, in form of groovy scripts.
Test Listeners: Stores groovy scripts for actions (Listeners) that are executed before/after each test case/suite run.
Reports: Stores reports by default.
Include: See this related question, is for Behavior Driven Development testing.
Plugins: --
The following folders are not visible via GUI, but are interesting.
Scripts: stores actual implementation of both test cases and test suites. These are the files that Katalon Studio shows to you when editing test cases/suites.
bin: compiled files, excluded by .gitignore default from versioning.
Drivers: external .jar libraries are copied here.
I'll keep this answer updated as much as I can.
and being referred to the Tutorial sections is not really an answer as it adds overhead to tasks like properly format the .gitignore file.
