+# Recommended local project locations
+
+We recommend that the locations for projects on the computer you use for development follow the same pattern as other developers so even commands we share can work without modification.
+
+## Initial setup
+
+```bash
+mkdir ~/Projects
+```
+
+## Each project
+
+Get the directory structure directly from the paths in the GitLab.com URL.  For example, 
+
+## Non-GitLab projects
+
+For non-GitLab projects, we recommend
+
+```bash
+mkdir ~/Projects/github
+mkdir ~/Projects/drupal
+```
+
+etc.
