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?

    ~/src/

    Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

      Admittedly, that irks me slightly just because of the shared name with the devices folder in root, but do what works for you.

doc - documents
etc - symlinks to all the local user configs
med - pictures, music, videos
mnt - usb/sd mountpoints
nfs - nfs mountpoints
smb - smb mountpoints
src - external source code
tmp - desktop

    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.

    ~/code/git/<org name>/<project>

    Mostly a holdover from when I regularly pulled svn/hg/cvs repos and needed reminding what tool to use for which project.

    No idea why I still do it.
