~/Code for coding/dev stuff and ~/gitclone for things that i random clone for some reason. =D

On Linux I usually just keep them in my home directory because I’m lazy. On Windows though I usually do C:\git\ or D:\git\ if I have a second drive.

${HOME}/repos

~/dev

~/repo for code I write and ~/src for code I didnt.

All over the place…

I used to use ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

Any naming convention is fine as long as it’s meaningful to you. But it’s a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.

~/src/${reponame}

~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME

~/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

XDG Documents folder

/dev/null

Unfortunately I’m still on windows, so [User]/Documents/Projects/*
