I’ve always had a projects folder, so this works for me I guess.
Same, I picked it up from some random user I was watching.
It may as well be called 'git folder' because it's almost exclusively used to clone 'hmm, neat' github repos and for my various 'to do' projects where I've gotten as far as running
git init.I have two folders for git though, my projects, and other people's packages and such
That makes too much sense
Same I also keep one called “scratch” that is just for random one off shit
That’s better than mine: ~/downloads/deleteme123
My downloads folder already removes files that are over a month old
I used to have a scratch directory. Then I realized I can put stuff in /tmp/whatever, and it gets automatically deleted on reboot. I made a shell function that creates a /tmp subdirectory, and cds to it in one command.
Well, sometimes I want something more permanent than tmp
We've got a ~/tmp.
Should probably clean it out at some point.
/s
Me too! But now I'm thinking maybe I should capitalize the folder name
~/PROJECTS
Why capitalize? Drop all the vowels!
