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?
Same, but by language, e.g. Development/Python
.
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.
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?
~/dev/
, with project/org subdirectories
Admittedly, 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
Same here!
~/projs
I like ~/w or ~/p options
