The project root is not recommended as it could include various files. Preferred is to put your content in a separate folder, and start from that point.

Yes, but as Git projects starts in the root we will have different ways of working.

Besides you don't get an error when adding the root folder in Front Matter. The content just won't show up in the dashboard.

A fix for this got implemented; now you can add the root folder, and the files will also show up on the dashboard. This is available in the latest beta.
