I put the root of whatever my current project is on my desktop
Linux user here:
You can use the home folder however you please. It is meant to be THE folder the user exists in. I started with adding a folder called prog in which I keep projects with a single contained git repo. For projects beyond that I also have a proj folder where I put non-git projects. I mostly use this for projects that also involve things other than code, like hardware projects or art projects.
Since I've started working fulltime and using the same machine for work and private, I've also added a work folder which serves the same purpose as prog, but keeps my fun time and depression time neatly seperated.
My "Projects" folder is on another drive, and has well organized documentation and no projects in it. My projects are in fact kept in a byzantine mess under the folder "tmp", mixed in with other shit...
How do you keep things in /tmp? Do you never turn your machine off?
Not that tmp, I have dozens of folders with 3-4 character names. Barely any organization whatsoever, when the OS\hardware\etc fails I shuffle everything into a folder and plop it somewhere to "deal with later". It's about 3 deep now, it was worse a few years ago. "C:\Users\___\Desktop\tmp\Sort\FFF"
i used to just slap them onto desktop folders until somebody made fun of me for it
now they go in my home folder.
I have a projects folder, which is then split up further. WPF projects in one folder, Unity projects in another, Unreal projects, and so on.
Each project also get's a repo on my SVN server.
