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?

/mnt/shared/Development or E:\Development depending on which operating system is running.

Not in home mainly because I use the same directory in windows and Linux.

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.

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

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

I have $HOME/src for projects that are executables and $HOME/lib for ones that are libraries/dependancies/etc
