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?

    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

    ~/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.

    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.
