Home directory
Some subdirectories in your home directory are special.
bin
If you create a directory bin that will be included in
your PATH the next time you login. That is, you will be
able to run programs in there by just typing their name.
Programs that use standard installation for GNU programs will end up there after:
./configure --prefix ~
make
make install
(Here the designation ~ for your home directory is
used.)
Similarly .local/bin will be added to
your PATH if it exists. For example programs that are
part of something installed with a personal
installation with pip will end up
there.
nobackup
That is a link to the /nobackup area, of which no
backups are done. See here!
