My file system

This my first experience with MacOS so I am trying to find the best suitable for me organization of files. It is not ideal and not final.

My Desktop is nearly always empty. It acts as a kind of temp folder where every file that is put there needs to be acted upon and either moved to some other place in my system or deleted. I already had a problem when there were a lot of files in my Desktop. They were used "for later", but that "later" never come.

~/Documents

All my actual documents (books, papers..) are put there. The folder is not synced with iCloud as for now.

~/Downloads

I try to keep this folder like Desktop always empty. This is the folder where I download things to from the browser as well as other places.

~/Developer

Everything that is code is put into this folder.

~/Developer ❯ exa
Code docker Projects

Code - snippets of code live here. docker - used for volume mostly. Projects - personal and work projects.

~/src/Projects

~/Developer/Projects ❯ exa
Archived Current

Current folder ~/src/Projects/Current is symlinked to ~/ as ~/Projects
