# Eric Working With Repo

Find the repo before doing anything else.

- Look locally first. Local repos live under `~/Developer`.
- If it is not local, search GitHub. Check personal repos first; there are many.
- Then check organization repos.
- Clone a remote match into `~/Developer`.
- A brand-new repo starts in `~/Developer` too, not in the current working directory.
- When the work runs through paseo, register the new project with `paseo project create <path>`.
- If the user says this is one-off, just use it once, or similar, clone into `/tmp` instead.
