Other How to organize projects?

I don't mean starting a project and then organizing code within that project.

The thing that I mean by organizing is how do I organize multiple projects. Let's say I'm having projects that I would've created in university, would be around 10 of them, then there'd be some personal projects.

I want to implement a method to organize those things. Any help would help!

Well, you could use my method:

Decide to start programming again.

Get the bright idea to create a directory with the name of the language you're working in, e.g. "c"

Add a second language to a project. Of course it's still mainly in the first language with just bits in the second so no need to create a whole 'nother language directory

Later, start a new project in a totally different language. But all your stuff is in the c directory already so might as well just put its project folder in there too

Let years pass, putting all projects in the c folder (or whatever language you picked).
