What I want is nothing less than a single, coherent guide to project management: How to organize files in my local project folder and how to get them from there to everywhere else they need to go.

You can make this as easy as you want, or as complicated as you want. You have been told previously to just take an existing distribution and modify it to suit your project. But you seem to want something else, yet haven't told us why. So you seem to search something more complicated.

So, the reply I seek contains a single reference to a comprehensive work on the overall topic.

It doesn't exist beyond what has been pointed out to you already.

I don't ask, How do you do it? I ask, How did you learn?

By looking at how others do it, and mimicing it, until I came up with a set of ways that worked my process.
