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?
Personal stuff goes in
~/Projects
Work stuff goes in
~/Work/Code
Personal?
~
My homedir is a HUGE MESS.
Work?
~/src/<site>/<project>/<repo>
i.e. ~/src/github/mirantis/docker (not real I don’t imagine, just an example)
~/src/bitbucket/INTERNALPROJECTCODE/coolrepo
~/Documents/projects/<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>_<name>
~/git, for projects I cloned from the web because I don’t know how to code :(
~/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 local user configs med - pictures, music, videos mnt - usb/sd mountpoints nfs - nfs mountpoints smb - smb mountpoints src - external source code tmp - desktop
Fascinating idea!
This is pure insanity. Chaos.
Same. Short and sweet.
Lol same
${HOME}/repos
~/src/
Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
~/workspace/git
That way I can also keep other stuff in the same “workspace” directory and keep everything else clean
I have a Code, simulations, ECAD, and FreeCAD folder in the workspace folder where projects or 1-offs are stored and when I want to bring them to git, I copy them over, play around in the project folders again, then copy changes over when I am ready to commit.
I could better use branching and checking out in git, but large mechanical assemblies work badly on git.
~/.projects
Similar, but I’m not ashamed of having my projects on display, so it’s just
~/projects
for me.
~/Prototypes on pretty much all machines I own, from desktop, laptop, server, tablets, ebook readers, RPis, XR headset, video projector, etc.
~/Projects
~/src
~/src/${reponame}
~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME
