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
${HOME}/repos
~/git, for projects I cloned from the web because I don’t know how to code :(
~/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.
