## Structure of source code
* **atom** - Source code of atom-shell.
* **app** - Contains system entry code, this is the most basic level of the
program.
* **app** - System entry code.
* **browser** - The frontend including the main window, UI, and all browser
side things. This talks to the renderer to manage web pages.
* **lib** - Javascript part of browser initialization code.
* **lib** - Javascript part of browser sidde initialization code.
* **ui** - Implementation of UI stuff for different platforms.
* **cocoa** - Cocoa specific source code.
* **gtk** - GTK+ specific source code.

components like `node` and `breakpad`.
## Structure of other directories
* **vendor** - Build dependencies.
* **tools** - Helper scripts used by gyp files.
* **node_modules** - Third party node modules used for building or running
specs.
* **out** - Output directory for `ninja`.
* **script** - Scripts used for development purpose like building, packaging,
testing, etc.
* **tools** - Helper scripts used by gyp files, unlike `script`, scripts put
here should never be invoked by users directly.
* **vendor** - Source code of third party dependencies, we didn't use
`third_party` as name because it would confuse with the same directory in
Chromium's source code tree.
* **node_modules** - Third party node modules used for building.
* **out** - Temporary output directory of `ninja`.
* **dist** - Temporary directory created by `script/create-dist.py` script
when creating an distribution.
* **node** - Downloaded node binary, it's built from
https://github.com/atom/node/tree/chromium-v8.
* **frameworks** - Downloaded third-party binaries of frameworks (only on
Mac).
* **frameworks** - Downloaded binaries of third-party frameworks, binaries
here are usually either closed source or hard to be built via `gyp`.
