~/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.

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.

I have $HOME/src for projects that are executables and $HOME/lib for ones that are libraries/dependancies/etc
Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects
Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code
~/Code for coding/dev stuff and ~/gitclone for things that i random clone for some reason. =D
Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials
Usually, I throw college assignments in a folder under documents.
Like some other ppl here, I clone everything in a git folder under my home directory.
~/Source
~/source
~/sites
I have always used it. I liked how it was easy to find in the home directory amongst other folders. Then under that I have a folder for every organization, including myself, and repositories live in those folders.
~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.
~/repos
C:\repos or ~/repos
I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GIT.
My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I'm now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

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
In ~/src Mostly because I'm too lazy to type "source".
~/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.
~/Documents/projects/<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>_<name>
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
~/Prototypes on pretty much all machines I own, from desktop, laptop, server, tablets, ebook readers, RPis, XR headset, video projector, etc.
Unfortunately I'm still on windows, so [User]/Documents/Projects/*
~/projs
I like ~/w or ~/p options
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.
/tmp
~/github/ and ~/gitea/
~/Dokumentujo/git
