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?

~/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.
~/github/and~/gitea//mnt/external_ssd_1/git_repos/reponame
i trust my workstations os to still be working in the morning as much as i trust the chances i even published the stupid branch after making it.
~/src/
Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
Most of my code and some non-code is under
~/src, but I have repos scattered all around for other things.~/Projects/$TOPIC_OR_LANGUAGE/$PROJECT_NAMEie.
~/Projects/Web/passport.inkfor a web dev project~/Projects/Minecraft/synthetic_ascensionfor a Minecraft mod~/Projects/C++/journalppfor a C++ library
~/git~/dev/, with project/org subdirectoriesAdmittedly, that irks me slightly just because of the shared name with the devices folder in root, but do what works for you.
I actually have my whole home directory like that for that reason haha
bin - executables dev - development, git projects doc - documents etc - symlinks to all the various local user configs med - pictures, music, videos mnt - usb/sd mountpoints nfs - nfs mountpoints smb - smb mountpoints src - external source code tmp - desktop
Same. Short and sweet.
~/Projects
~/projectsfor things I made~/gitfor things other people made~/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/otherProjectLike 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.
Same, but by language, e.g.
Development/Python.Thinking of the projects I work on, I don’t understand the value in categorizing by language, rather than theme (
~/Development/Web/,~/Development/Games/) or just the project folders right there.What if a project uses multiple languages?
Symlink each individual file, obviously.
I tend to follow this structure:
Projects ├── personal │ └── project-name │ ├── code │ ├── designs │ └── wiki └── work └── project-name ├── code ├── designs └── wiki~/Source
