Because the most important part of the problem isn't the profusion of config files, it's that as a project owner I'm not in control of the most important entry point to my own work.
- benatkin 3y agoThe alternative for a lot of things is the root directory having almost nothing in it, because the main content is already split from the top level directory by: - node monorepos by putting everything in the packages directory - python repos by putting almost everything underneath the name of the package What might help some who are annoyed by this perceived clutter is to be to jump straight into the main content in the subdirectory. Getting the other files moved out only helps it a little because you don't have to go through as many items to click or cd into the main content's directory. It doesn't remove a whole step. The steps are still 1) to go to the repo and 2) click or cd to the directory that has the main content.
