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?

        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 - desktop

    ~/src/

    Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

      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.

    Like 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.

    ~/git/vendor/<gitUser>/<repo>

    and

    ~/git/<myName>/<forge>/<user>/<repo>

    Examples:

    ~/git/vendor/EnigmaCurry/d.rymcg.tech
~/git/mike/forgejo/mikew/myproject

    ~/code for everything I want to change/look at the source code.

    ~/.local/src for stuff I want to install locally from source.

    I tend to follow this structure:

    Projects
├── personal
│   └── project-name
│       ├── code
│       ├── designs
│       └── wiki
└── work
    └── project-name
        ├── code
        ├── designs
        └── wiki

      Is “code”, “designs” and “wiki” here just some example files in the repo or are those sub-folders, and you only have the repo underneath code?

        They are the project’s subfolders (outside of the Git repo):

        • code contains the source code; version-controlled with Git.
        • wiki contains documentation and also version-controlled.
        • designs contains GIMP, Inkscape or Krita save files.

        This structure works for me since software projects involve more things than just the code, and you can add more subfolders according to your liking such as notes, pkgbuild (for Arch Linux), or releases.

    I use ~/workspace . I think I got this from when I first started using Java years ago. Eclipse created new projects in this directory by default maybe?
