 * `bin`: It contains the CLI tools. The `cli` one is the main entry point to run Shlink from the command line.

-* `data`: Common runtime-generated git-ignored assets, like logs, caches, etc.
+* `data`: Common git-ignored assets, like logs, caches, lock files, GeoLite DB files, etc. It's the only location where Shlink may need to write at runtime.
 * `docs`: Any project documentation is stored here, like API spec definitions or architectural decision records.
 * `module`: Contains a sub-folder for every module in the project. Modules contain the source code, tests and configurations for every context in the project.
 * `public`: Few assets (like `favicon.ico` or `robots.txt`) and the web entry point are stored here. This web entry point is not used when serving the app with RoadRunner or openswoole.
