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?

    ~/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.

    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?

    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.

    ~/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.

    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
