Ah, that's the source of the confusion. / never actually means the root of a project. It's always the root of the filesystem.
E.g. this:
/proto: proto buffers folder(I will explain more later) /src: the source directory /src/server: server directory /src/client: client directory /src/proto: auto generated code from proto buffers
should read:
proto/: proto buffers folder(I will explain more later) src/: the source directory src/server/: server directory src/client/: client directory src/proto/: auto generated code from proto buffers
