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.

I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive when it comes to organizing my files (either it has be consistent OR I'd leave it completely messy). After trying complex structures, now under the default Mac OS
Documents
, I just have:Last two directories will be for non-code personal projects but currently they are empty. I recently changed laptop (~3 months ago); my old projects are in my external HDD.
Mine follows this pattern:
~/src/<gitserver>/<owner>/<repository>
Example:
~/src/github.com/nikoheikkila/cv
Mostly I use
z
to jump to correct directory by repo name which is neatly supported by this.I'm boring/lazy. Mines literally just "Code" and it's a top level directory so I can just
cd code
and find what I need hahaMe too
Same here!
This makes more sense than the people calling it “github”
Is that a thing people do!?
on here and on Twitter it is, I think, the most common answer
Git_repo and then obviously there are sub directories d3,p5 etc 👨💻
I use this pattern:
~/<version control host>/<repo name>
This looks like:
~/github/railsdock
~/dev/<language>/<project>
for local projects,~/dev/git/<project>
for projects on GitHubi use this pattern
~/workspace/<project>/src
That's interesting 😄
Mine is simple
~/projects
for all my.. well, projects. And inside are dirs by technology for personal stuff, e.g.python/
,react/
, etc. And%company_name%/
for full-time job projects.I use variants of ~/_git/repo_domain/repo_group/repo_name depending on the hosting.
Allows me to quickly browse stuff that is either local, github, gitlab, etc...
Anything related to software tools I keep in ~/work/tools, organised in concept, vendor, tool, version (ie: ide/jetbrains/intellij/20201).
Project related stuff like documents, assets I keep in variants of ~/work/projects/customer_name/initiative/project
Many people place code together with projects, but having separate folders is useful to avoid long paths, and I get a clear ideia of what's transient and versioned or not.
Nice 👍
Be prepared to be underwhelmed.
I name my folder... dev/ 😀
Code
Just
gits
:)~/development
~/Dev
It matches other folder names in ~.
I use workspace/ and inside it projects/ works/ and limbo/
