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?

$HOME/Code///

I use ghq to manage cloning to get this desired structure

[-] simonced@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Like some other ppl here, I clone everything in a git folder under my home directory.

Personal?

~

My homedir is a HUGE MESS.

Work?

~/src///

i.e. ~/src/github/mirantis/docker (not real I don't imagine, just an example)

~/src/bitbucket/INTERNALPROJECTCODE/coolrepo

[-] EuCaue@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] poinck@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

~/gits

Documentation is usually a doc folder inside the repo or just a README.md for small projects.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 1 points 1 year ago

~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

[-] data1701d@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Usually, I throw college assignments in a folder under documents.

~/sites

I have always used it. I liked how it was easy to find in the home directory amongst other folders. Then under that I have a folder for every organization, including myself, and repositories live in those folders.

My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I'm now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects

Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

Putting one directly under the home directory feels like a psychopathic move, so I stay by XDG and put them under a subdirectory of xdg-documents

[-] noddy@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

In ~/src Mostly because I'm too lazy to type "source".

~/Sources for stuff I'm only building from sources and no immediate intention to contribute to

~/Projects for stuff I'm involved in, with a following structure:

Projects
 - Personal
 - - Art
 - - Music
 - - Code
 - - - Ideas
 - - - In progress
 - - - Deployed
 - - - Scripts
 - - - Abandoned
 - [Company name]
 - - [Project name]
 - Interviews
 - - [Company name]

The last part grouping project by companies has worked great for me, especially with freelance and outsource work. Sorting personal projects into types and stages feels like a mistake, as every time I have to navigate it, I can't help but think of limitations of hierarchical file systems, as some of them are multiple types simultaneously, and also moving projects between stages feels dumb.

~/Prototypes on pretty much all machines I own, from desktop, laptop, server, tablets, ebook readers, RPis, XR headset, video projector, etc.

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

~/Documents/projects/<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>_<name>

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

[-] k4j8@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

~/github/ and ~/gitea/

[-] Kualk@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

~/projs

I like ~/w or ~/p options

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.

Linux

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.
