Discussion on: How do you organize your projects?

In all computers I work on there is a projects folder in the user's folder:

# Linux Mint

/home/cesc/projects/

# Mac

/Users/[macuser]/projects

Then, I'd usually add a folder per project and as time has passed, many of them have been grouped into bigger initiatives named after two fictional companies I own ~/projects/devaspros-projects/, etc.

Every project would normally have a github/bitbucket repo. Even smaller ones. I never miss a change to practice git commit often.

In the end, those projects are used to be showcase when applying to other companies or to show teammates how something was done.

Finally, I also find myself making a Trello board per project to organize tasks, paste links for concepts/answers/solutions while working on those tasks, and comments to myself. Kind of a self-documented process.
