Would this also apply to home directory, eg ~/.meta/.netrc? That would be neat and make backing up a system and synching configs easier. Also, what about .idea

Also, what about .idea/.vscode and related IDE stuff? Those I would definitely consider "metadata".
Would X/.meta/.dockerignore work the same as X/.dockerignore ? As in relative to the root as if .meta was not there?
Not sure I agree with docker-compose.yml being there, but not really opposed to it either. What about Makefile or CMakeList.txt?

That would be neat and make backing up a system and synching configs easier. ~/.config and ~/.local already exist for that purpose: applications should read and store configuration in ~/.config, use ~/.local/share for data, and install binaries to ~/.local/bin.
- arielcostas 3y agoI don't think ~/.meta is needed when there's the XDG config path, which by default is ~/.config For unix-like systems like Linux at least, for Windows there is the AppData directory with the same function.
