Tiedostojoukko

Tiedostojoukko, meaning "file set" in Finnish, refers to a collection of related files that are managed together. This concept is common in computing and software development, where multiple files are often grouped to form a complete program, project, or dataset. The files within a tiedostojoukko can include source code, configuration files, documentation, assets, and executables. Organizing files into a tiedostojoukko simplifies management, version control, and distribution. For instance, a software application might be distributed as a single tiedostojoukko containing all the necessary components. Similarly, a research project might maintain a tiedostojoukko for its data, analysis scripts, and results. Tools like version control systems (e.g., Git) and build systems are designed to work with tiedostojoukot, allowing developers to track changes, automate compilation, and package projects efficiently. The specific contents and structure of a tiedostojoukko can vary greatly depending on its purpose.
