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?
~/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.
~/src/${reponame}
~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME
${HOME}/repos
XDG Documents folder
All over the place…
~/code
for everything I want to change/look at the source code.~/.local/src
for stuff I want to install locally from source.I used to use
~/dev
but for years now I use~/Workspace
becaue Eclipse made me do it~/repo for code I write and ~/src for code I didnt.
~/repos
~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone)
is where mine usually reside.~/source
/dev/null
~/dev
For my personal projects I use ~/dev/projects/
For clones I use ~/dev/clones
My audio engineering stuff is at ~/audio/{samples, plugins, projects, templates}
