What directories of file system should I store git repositories, according to best-practice?
<p>Reading about git I find references to "where you keep all your local git repositories", but I can't seem to find explicit recommendations on this topic.</p>

<p>Currently I keep my git repos wherever I work on them; <em>e.g.</em>, <code>~/Work/Publications/topicA/foo/</code> or <code>~/Education/UofA/PhDThesis/</code>, etc.</p>

<p>Should I instead keep all git repos in one directory and symlink to them?  I might be mistaken in thinking that people do this, so let me know in the comments if you think so.</p>

<p><em>N.b.</em>, if you are going to comment/answer with "you can do whatever you like with your local git repos", you should be prepared to show that there is no advantage one way or another.  Otherwise you are just pointing out the obvious!</p>
