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?

  • I maintain a rule that all files above the repo must be inside a folder, with one exception: a README file. Including the code folder, this typically results in no more than 5 folders; the project folder itself is kept organized and uncluttered.
