What do you call your folder where you keep your code?

#watercooler #beginners #discuss

On each new PC I make a folder named after some version of the afterlife: 'xibalba,' 'elysium,' 'outerdark.' And that's where I keep all my code. I assume everyone does this? And I'm curious where you keep your code on your own PC.

my old PC had a dumb chain that was kind of like ~/repo/dontlook/saiddontlook/yourebel, now it's boring and just ~/repo/inprogress and such

I use this pattern ~/src/{project_name}/...

I can quickly jump into my terminal and type "$ code ~/src/proj + tab" and start coding.

I keep all my projects in ~/code/, breaking down each project into its own directory. I don't have my first customer yet, but when I do I'll have a directory in the code directory called customers and store that data in each customers own directory.

I save creative names for my hostnames. Each host in my network is named after a Norse god.

workspaces

Then I have a workspace for the projects of my job (i22), one for hobby projects (personal), one for experiments (lab) and one when cloning foreign open source projects (external).

Mine is ~/projects. Gotta keep it simple.

I call it Developer, so I get a nice icon :)

The internal structure is:

~/Developer/%company%/%project%/

If the project is not part of a company or just for fun, it goes directly to ~/Developer root.

Mine is just C:\Source, on every PC I'm using.
