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.

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?

/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.

Any naming convention is fine as long as it's meaningful to you. But it's a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.

/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.

C:\repos or ~/repos

~/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.

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

~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.

~/gits

Documentation is usually a doc folder inside the repo or just a README.md for small projects.

Like some other ppl here, I clone everything in a git folder under my home directory.

~/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.

~/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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Usually, I throw college assignments in a folder under documents.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

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.
