Google Apps Script - flat project clasp structure

I'm trying to start editing Google Apps scripts that are bounded to Google Sheets.

I don't understand the part where it is documented that 

Structure Code. clasp automatically converts your flat project on script.google.com into folders. For example:

On script.google.com:

├── tests/slides.gs

└── tests/sheets.gs

Locally:

├── tests/

│ ├─ slides.gs

│ └─ sheets.gs

When I see my projects on script.google.com they are just listed by the name, I don't see any folder structure.

I was able to to a clasp clone PROJECT_ID and it downloaded 3 files

Cloned 3 files.

└─ appsscript.json

└─ Code.js

└─ Old Code.js

exactly to the folder where I ran the clasp command.

I don't see how it creates folders for me..

Should I be creating one folder per script?

Thanks in advance

On script.google.com, the files will always be in a flat structure. What clasp does is--if there is a filepath separator in the .gs filename--nests that into a folder in your local Dev environment.

So if your gs files are "a.gs" and "old b.gs", they will be in the same directory when you clasp pull. If they are named ”a.gs" and "old/b.gs", when you clasp pull, the current directory will contain a js file named "a.js" and a directory named "old", which contains a file named "b.js".

Similarly, if you create a directory-based project locally and then push it to Apps Script, clasp will flatten suitable files in your local directory so Apps Script can use them.

I.e.

webapp/
 - a.js
 - b.js
main.js

Will become

webapp/a.gs
webapp/b.gs
main.gs

after pushing.

PS: shared development may be tricky in multi-OS teams while this bug is open: https://github.com/google/clasp/issues/393

Google Script editor doesn't support folders, all files are always uploaded into the root.
