If you are using a rolling release distro like Arch, you might have noticed that your home directory now has a new member, a new folder called "Projects".

For as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders under the home directory. Usually they are Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads. Templates, Desktop and Public folders are also there.

Now we have a new addition in the form of "Projects".

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 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.
