Hi, everyone. I would like to know how you organize your repositories. Do you organize them by types of projects or do you just create them randomly as needed?

Eu crio aleatoriamente, nunca tinha parado pra pensar em como organizar.

Hello,
it depends on project and organization structure etc.
In my opinion the most important things to configure are:

1. Clear repository naming: Use semantic name.
2. Branch management: Define a clear main branch and use feature branches for development.
3. Issue tracking: Utilize issues to track tasks, bugs, and enhancements.
4. Pull requests: Establish guidelines for code reviews and merging changes.
5. Documentation: Maintain a comprehensive README and project wiki for new contributors etc.
6. Project boards: Organize tasks with project boards (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done).
7. Access control: Manage permissions and access rights effectively.
8. Regular maintenance: Clean up unused branches and archive or delete repositories as needed.
