It just wouldn't be ~/:house: without these.

You're done.
This repo is structured to follow the .local convention, to a degree.
I only want a single subdirectory of nesting beneath ~/.local/, rather than 2 or 3 that would result
in fully honoring the FHS.
As such, here is the resulting tree:
HOME
├─ .local
│ ├─ bin
│ ├─ etc
│ ├─ lib
│ ├─ share
│ ├─ srv
│ ├─ tmp
│ └─ var
│
├─ docs
├─ desktop
└─ media
├─ music
├─ photos
└─ videos
With the following environment variables used to configure XDG-honoring software to adhere to it:
| Variable | Location |
|---|---|
XDG_CONFIG_HOME |
~/.local/etc |
XDG_DATA_HOME |
~/.local/share |
XDG_CACHE_HOME |
~/.local/cache |
XDG_STATE_HOME |
~/.local/var |
TMPDIR |
~/.local/tmp |
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR |
~/.local/tmp |
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR |
~/.local/srv |
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR |
~/docs |
XDG_MUSIC_DIR |
~/media/music |
XDG_PICTURES_DIR |
~/media/photos |
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR |
~/media/videos |
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR |
~/.local/share/templates |
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR |
~/desktop |
XDG_BIN_DIR(*) |
~/.local/bin |
* means it is a non-standard environment variable
