I dont know where it should have its root but the scheme of golang seems like a good idea like: src/github.com/Example/Repo

Hey @fionera , thanks again for the input. I'd say the first place for this is the root/web directory which has a similar structure to what you describe. Since Repositories often resemble code for software, my 2nd best guess would be to but it in root/software/ Maybe add another sub-directory for open-source or source-code or repositories.

EDIT:

I'll transform this into a task, so it gets covered :)

TODO:

I would go for Option B since the web dir is mostly for mirrors and repos would be hard to identify

roboyoshi commented 5 years ago

@fionera yes sure, I'll add both. You may have a general-purpose scraper that downloads the repo into (A), and you may have git cloned repositories or standalone repos that go into (B).
