Like some other ppl here, I clone everything in a git folder under my home directory.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

On Linux I usually just keep them in my home directory because I'm lazy. On Windows though I usually do C:\git\ or D:\git\ if I have a second drive.
/tmp
~/src/
Simple, effective, doesn't make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.
~/sites
I have always used it. I liked how it was easy to find in the home directory amongst other folders. Then under that I have a folder for every organization, including myself, and repositories live in those folders.
~/github/
and ~/gitea/
~/git
Most of my code and some non-code is under ~/src
, but I have repos scattered all around for other things.
/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.
~/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
~/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 various local user configs
med - pictures, music, videos
mnt - usb/sd mountpoints
nfs - nfs mountpoints
smb - smb mountpoints
src - external source code
tmp - desktop
This is pure insanity. Chaos.
Same. Short and sweet.
~/Projects
~/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
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.
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.
What if a project uses multiple languages?
Symlink each individual file, obviously.
~/projects
for things I made
~/git
for things other people made
I tend to follow this structure:
Projects
├── personal
│ └── project-name
│ ├── code
│ ├── designs
│ └── wiki
└── work
└── project-name
├── code
├── designs
└── wiki
~/Source
/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.
~/Git
~/code/git/<org name>/<project>
Mostly a holdover from when I regularly pulled svn
/hg
/cvs
repos and needed reminding what tool to use for which project.
No idea why I still do it.
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.
~/Dokumentujo/git
Same here!
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?
~/Code
for coding/dev stuff and ~/gitclone
for things that i random clone for some reason. =D
Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials
Usually, I throw college assignments in a folder under documents.
~/projs
I like ~/w or ~/p options
