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?

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
