Linux

~/git

~/dev/, with project/org subdirectories

~/src/

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

~/Projects

${HOME}/repos

Same, but by language, e.g. Development/Python.

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.

~/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/otherProject

I tend to follow this structure:

Projects
├── personal
│   └── project-name
│       ├── code
│       ├── designs
│       └── wiki
└── work
    └── project-name
        ├── code
        ├── designs
        └── wiki

~/git, for projects I cloned from the web because I don't know how to code :(

~/.projects

~/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}

~/projects for things I made

~/git for things other people made

~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME

~/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 ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

~/dev

Most of my code and some non-code is under ~/src, but I have repos scattered all around for other things.

For a project called "Potato Peeler", I'll put it into a structure like this:

~/Projects/Tools/Potato-Peeler/potato-peeler/

Tools/ is just a rough category. Other categories are, for example, Games/ and Music/, because I also do gamedev and composing occasionally.

Then the capitalized Potato-Peeler/ folder, that's for me to drop in all kinds of project-related files, which I don't want to check into the repo.

And the lower-case potato-peeler/ folder is the repo then. Seeing other people's structures, maybe I'll rename that folder to repo/, and if I have multiple relevant repos for the Project, then make it repo-something.

I also have a folder like ~/Projects/Tools/zzz/ where I'll move dormant projects. The "zzz" sorts nicely to the bottom of the list.

~/Projects/$TOPIC_OR_LANGUAGE/$PROJECT_NAME

ie.

• ~/Projects/Web/passport.ink for a web dev project
• ~/Projects/Minecraft/synthetic_ascension for a Minecraft mod
• ~/Projects/C++/journalpp for a C++ library

I use ~/workspace . I think I got this from when I first started using Java years ago. Eclipse created new projects in this directory by default maybe?

~/repo for code I write and ~/src for code I didnt.

/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.

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}

All over the place...

~/src

XDG Documents folder

Usually ~/devel/

On my work laptop I have separate subdirs for each project and basically try to mirror the Gitlab group/project structure because some fucktards like to split every project into 20 repos.

I have $HOME/src for projects that are executables and $HOME/lib for ones that are libraries/dependancies/etc

I use ~/w for "Work" and less typing

Same here!

C:\repos or ~/repos

/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.

~/Git
