**.abapgit.xml** is a special abapGit file. It contains meta information of the abapGit project.
Example: abapGit's own .abapgit.xml
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>

# Description
## Location
The `.abapgit.xml` file must be located in the root folder of the git repository.
## Master Language
The language in which all documentation and dictionary elements texts will be created. Follows SAP `sy-langu` values. Note that this implies that all objects in a repository will/should have the same master language.
## Starting Folder
The Git repository folder that defines the root folder where deserialization starts.
## Folder Logic
abapGit follows two folder logics: PREFIX and FULL
### PREFIX
A package name must contain its parent package name as a prefix. Examples:
Valid prefix:
* ZFOO
* **ZFOO**_BAR
* **ZFOO_BAR**_QUX
will give folder structure /bar/qux/
Invalid prefix:
* ZFOO
* ZBAR
The folder logic PREFIX allows to install the repository into a different parent package. This can even be local packages(`$*`), in that case no transport order is required.
### FULL
Any package name is accepted
* ZSOMETHING
* ZHELLO
will give folder structure /zsomething/zhello/
The folder logic FULL forces the installation of the repository into packages with exactly the same name. This can be problematic for contributors who use a system where specific prefixes for the package names are to be used.
## Ignore
Files which abapGit will not download into your ABAP system.
