Where do you keep projects?

[Oliver Taylor]

Where do you save your projects? In the project's folder? In a "projects" folder?

I know you can save them anywhere, I'm asking where the list prefers to keep their BBEdit Project Files. Just curious.

| Project Parent Folder
| Project Data Folder <— sometimes this is the project folder, sometimes the project folder is in it
| Project Admin Folder <— design notes, invoices, etc.
- BBEdit projects file <— etc.

My typical structure:

<company>

<project 1>

archive  <-- zip files, etc.

business <-- contracts, invoices, etc.

docs     <-- specs, datasheets, etc.

                src      <-- source code

                tools    <-- project specific tools (compilers, build tools, etc.)

<project 1>Notes.txt <-- log file, billable hours, todo list, misc notes

<project 1>.bbprojectd <-- BBEdit project file

<project 2>

...

I'm usually working on open source projects or projects where I'm the only BBEdit user, thus I usually work like:

homedir/projects/project-im-working-on/

homedir/projects/project-im-working-on.bbedit

So, the same directory my checkout out working tree is in.

Sometimes, if I choose, I might put it in the working tree directory and then add it to version control. But generally only if I'm the only one working on it, and it's not that good of an idea anyway because you end up having to commit your .bbedit workspace all the time.
