Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

~/code/git/<org name>/<project>

Mostly a holdover from when I regularly pulled svn/hg/cvs repos and needed reminding what tool to use for which project.

No idea why I still do it.

Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects

Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code

~/Prototypes on pretty much all machines I own, from desktop, laptop, server, tablets, ebook readers, RPis, XR headset, video projector, etc.

Personal?

~

My homedir is a HUGE MESS.

Work?

~/src///

i.e. ~/src/github/mirantis/docker (not real I don't imagine, just an example)

~/src/bitbucket/INTERNALPROJECTCODE/coolrepo

~/Code for coding/dev stuff and ~/gitclone for things that i random clone for some reason. =D

Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Usually, I throw college assignments in a folder under documents.

~/sites

I have always used it. I liked how it was easy to find in the home directory amongst other folders. Then under that I have a folder for every organization, including myself, and repositories live in those folders.

Like some other ppl here, I clone everything in a git folder under my home directory.

~/gits

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.

In ~/src Mostly because I'm too lazy to type "source".

Putting one directly under the home directory feels like a psychopathic move, so I stay by XDG and put them under a subdirectory of xdg-documents

~/Sources for stuff I'm only building from sources and no immediate intention to contribute to

~/Projects for stuff I'm involved in, with a following structure:

Projects
 - Personal
 - - Art
 - - Music
 - - Code
 - - - Ideas
 - - - In progress
 - - - Deployed
 - - - Scripts
 - - - Abandoned
 - [Company name]
 - - [Project name]
 - Interviews
 - - [Company name]

The last part grouping project by companies has worked great for me, especially with freelance and outsource work. Sorting personal projects into types and stages feels like a mistake, as every time I have to navigate it, I can't help but think of limitations of hierarchical file systems, as some of them are multiple types simultaneously, and also moving projects between stages feels dumb.

Unfortunately I'm still on windows, so [User]/Documents/Projects/*

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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.
