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/vendor/<gitUser>/<repo>

    and

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

    Examples:

    ~/git/vendor/EnigmaCurry/d.rymcg.tech
    ~/git/mike/forgejo/mikew/myproject
    ~/git/mike/github/johndoe/otherProject
    
  • I tend to follow this structure:

    Projects

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

    For a project called “Potato Peeler”, I’ll put it into a structure like this:

    ~/Projects/Tools/Potato-Peeler/potato-peeler/
    

    Tools/ is just a rough category. Other categories are, for example, Games/ and Music/, because I also do gamedev and composing occasionally.

    Then the capitalized Potato-Peeler/ folder, that’s for me to drop in all kinds of project-related files, which I don’t want to check into the repo.

    And the lower-case potato-peeler/ folder is the repo then. Seeing other people’s structures, maybe I’ll rename that folder to repo/, and if I have multiple relevant repos for the Project, then make it repo-something.

    I also have a folder like ~/Projects/Tools/zzz/ where I’ll move dormant projects. The “zzz” sorts nicely to the bottom of the list.
