~/.projects

~/src/${reponame}

${HOME}/repos

~/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.

C:\repos or ~/repos

~/code/$LANGUAGE/$REPONAME

Unfortunately I’m still on windows, so [User]/Documents/Projects/*

~/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

All over the place…

XDG Documents folder

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

~/git

~/dev

/dev/null
