title: What's the 'standard' directory location to use when cloning a Git repo onto a LINUX machine
body: <p>While I spend most of my career on the Microsoft stack as a full-stack web developer - I have, on occasion, made my way into the *NIX side of things.. built out a FreeBSD web server here, played with Caldera Linux once over there, and am currently doing some web deployment using a Google cloud VM that is running Ubuntu...</p>
  
  <p><strong>TL,DR</strong>
  So, if I forked a repo onto my GitHub account- all for the purposes of then cloning it into my Ubuntu server where I'll then compile and run the web application.. </p>
  
  <p>What is the professionally expected location that I should put that 'cloned' source code? I googled around a bit to get a better grasp of what the various linux directories are for.. but.. I need a good SO answer... so... where would you put it?</p>
  
  <p><code>/usr/src/MyGitRepos</code>    ..that sounded good to me.. but.. what would you do?</p>
