Development Artifact Cleanup: ✅ BROTHER_NODE REORGANIZATION: Moved development test node to appropriate location - dev/test-nodes/brother_node/: Moved from root directory for better organization - Contains development configuration, test logs, and test chain data - No impact on production systems - purely development/testing artifact ✅ DEVELOPMENT ARTIFACTS IDENTIFIED: - Chain ID: aitbc-brother-chain (test/development chain) - Ports: 8010 (P2P) and 8011 (RPC) - different from production - Environment: .env file with test configuration - Logs: rpc.log and node.log from development testing session (March 15, 2026) ✅ ROOT DIRECTORY CLEANUP: Removed development clutter from production directory - brother_node/ moved to dev/test-nodes/brother_node/ - Root directory now contains only production-ready components - Development artifacts properly organized in dev/ subdirectory DIRECTORY STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT: 📁 dev/test-nodes/: Development and testing node configurations 🏗️ Root Directory: Clean production structure with only essential components 🧪 Development Isolation: Test environments separated from production BENEFITS: ✅ Clean Production Directory: No development artifacts in root ✅ Better Organization: Development nodes grouped in dev/ subdirectory ✅ Clear Separation: Production vs development environments clearly distinguished ✅ Maintainability: Easier to identify and manage development components RESULT: Successfully moved brother_node development artifact to dev/test-nodes/ subdirectory, cleaning up the root directory while preserving development testing environment for future use.
env-paths
Get paths for storing things like data, config, cache, etc
Uses the correct OS-specific paths. Most developers get this wrong.
Install
$ npm install env-paths
Usage
const envPaths = require('env-paths');
const paths = envPaths('MyApp');
paths.data;
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.local/share/MyApp-nodejs'
paths.config
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.config/MyApp-nodejs'
API
paths = envPaths(name, options?)
Note: It only generates the path strings. It doesn't create the directories for you. You could use make-dir to create the directories.
name
Type: string
Name of your project. Used to generate the paths.
options
Type: object
suffix
Type: string
Default: 'nodejs'
Don't use this option unless you really have to!
Suffix appended to the project name to avoid name conflicts with native
apps. Pass an empty string to disable it.
paths.data
