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?

    ~/gits

    Documentation is usually a doc folder inside the repo or just a README.md for small projects.

    For a project called "Potato Peeler", I'll put it into a structure like this:

    ~/Projects/Tools/Potato-Peeler/potato-peeler/

    Tools/ is just a rough category. Other categories are, for example, Games/ and Music/, because I also do gamedev and composing occasionally.

    Then the capitalized Potato-Peeler/ folder, that's for me to drop in all kinds of project-related files, which I don't want to check into the repo.

    And the lower-case potato-peeler/ folder is the repo then. Seeing other people's structures, maybe I'll rename that folder to repo/, and if I have multiple relevant repos for the Project, then make it repo-something.

    I also have a folder like ~/Projects/Tools/zzz/ where I'll move dormant projects. The "zzz" sorts nicely to the bottom of the list.

    On Linux I usually just keep them in my home directory because I'm lazy. On Windows though I usually do C:\git\ or D:\git\ if I have a second drive.

    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.
