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?

      Don’t worry, the basics are really easy to git get down, you can read any beginner guide to start trying it out, for example this one on baeldung seems pretty alright by a quick skim, or, if you prefer a more playful approach, definitely check out ohmygit.
      If you want to try a git hoster as well, make a GitHub profile if you want to go where most everyone is, so you can also easily contribute to others’ projects, otherwise, if you care about staying on a free platform, make an account on Codeberg, fewer people, but all great like-minded free software supporters

      …or make one on both, ngl

        Thanks. I do have a codeberg, a Gitlab and a github account (all I have here are my blacklist and white lists). If my kids allow me, I’ll start swimming on this waters this weekend. I’ve only seen how you guys basically hold repose of pretty much anything and automate workflows and configurations so easily, it’s amazing.
