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?
Personal stuff goes in
~/Projects
Work stuff goes in
~/Work/Code
Personal?
~
My homedir is a HUGE MESS.
Work?
~/src/<site>/<project>/<repo>
i.e. ~/src/github/mirantis/docker (not real I don’t imagine, just an example)
~/src/bitbucket/INTERNALPROJECTCODE/coolrepo
~/Documents/projects/<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>_<name>
~/git
~/git, for projects I cloned from the web because I don’t know how to code :(
~/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 - desktop
Fascinating idea!
This is pure insanity. Chaos.
Same. Short and sweet.
Lol same
${HOME}/repos
~/src/
Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
~/workspace/git
That way I can also keep other stuff in the same “workspace” directory and keep everything else clean
I have a Code, simulations, ECAD, and FreeCAD folder in the workspace folder where projects or 1-offs are stored and when I want to bring them to git, I copy them over, play around in the project folders again, then copy changes over when I am ready to commit.
I could better use branching and checking out in git, but large mechanical assemblies work badly on git.
~/Projects
~/.projects
Similar, but I’m not ashamed of having my projects on display, so it’s just
~/projects
for me.
~/src/${reponame}
~/src
~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME
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.
