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?

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

    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

    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.

      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.

        Yeah, everyone has to find their own way of organising, I guess. For me, there are too many different little projects that it would get messy throwing them all in one folder. And they’re so varied that I couldn’t think of one single “theme” or topic for most of them. Nothing I would remember a week later anyways.

    /mnt/shared/Development or E:\Development depending on which operating system is running.

    Not in home mainly because I use the same directory in windows and Linux.

      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.

      Don’t worry, the basics are really easy to git get down, you can read any beginner guide to start trying it out, for example this one on baeldung seems pretty alright by a quick skim, or, if you prefer a more playful approach, definitely check out ohmygit.
      If you want to try a git hoster as well, make a GitHub profile if you want to go where most everyone is, so you can also easily contribute to others’ projects, otherwise, if you care about staying on a free platform, make an account on Codeberg, fewer people, but all great like-minded free software supporters

      …or make one on both, ngl

        Thanks. I do have a codeberg, a Gitlab and a github account (all I have here are my blacklist and white lists). If my kids allow me, I’ll start swimming on this waters this weekend. I’ve only seen how you guys basically hold repose of pretty much anything and automate workflows and configurations so easily, it’s amazing.

          Good luck! It can get complicated so I know how you feel looking at weird configurations that do magic
