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?

    ~/src/

    Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

    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.

    I tend to follow this structure:

    Projects
├── personal
│   └── project-name
│       ├── code
│       ├── designs
│       └── wiki
└── work
    └── project-name
        ├── code
        ├── designs
        └── wiki
