Personally, to keep my documents like Inkscape files or LibreOffice documents separate from my code, I add a directory under my home directory called Development. There, I can do git clones to my heart’s content
What do you all do?

~/git~/dev/, with project/org subdirectoriesAdmittedly, that irks me slightly just because of the shared name with the devices folder in root, but do what works for you.
I actually have my whole home directory like that for that reason haha
bin - executables dev - development, git projects doc - documents etc - symlinks to all the local user configs med - pictures, music, videos mnt - usb/sd mountpoints nfs - nfs mountpoints smb - smb mountpoints src - external source code tmp - desktopThis is pure insanity. Chaos.
Same. Short and sweet.
Lol same
~/src/
Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
~/Projects
${HOME}/reposLike others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.
Same, but by language, e.g.
Development/Python.What if a project uses multiple languages?
Symlink each individual file, obviously.
Thinking of the projects I work on, I don’t understand the value in categorizing by language, rather than theme (
~/Development/Web/,~/Development/Games/) or just the project folders right there.Yeah, everyone has to find their own way of organising, I guess. For me, there are too many different little projects that it would get messy throwing them all in one folder. And they’re so varied that I couldn’t think of one single “theme” or topic for most of them. Nothing I would remember a week later anyways.
~/src/${reponame}~/codefor everything I want to change/look at the source code.~/.local/srcfor stuff I want to install locally from source.~/git/vendor/<gitUser>/<repo>and
