Any naming convention is fine as long as it's meaningful to you. But it's a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.

I use ~/workspace . I think I got this from when I first started using Java years ago. Eclipse created new projects in this directory by default maybe?

~/repos

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

~/source

/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.

~/Git

~/gits

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

/mnt/external_ssd_1/git_repos/reponame

i trust my workstations os to still be working in the morning as much as i trust the chances i even published the stupid branch after making it.

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

Usually ~/devel/

On my work laptop I have separate subdirs for each project and basically try to mirror the Gitlab group/project structure because some fucktards like to split every project into 20 repos.

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

I use ~/w for "Work" and less typing

Same here!

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

~/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.

~/Source

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

~/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.

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

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

~/projs

I like ~/w or ~/p options
