A lot of programs write their configuration files directly to their users' $HOME, making the output of ls -la an unmanageable mess.
XDG Base Directory Specification helps with keeping the home directory tidy by providing a convention that well-behaved programs can follow when deciding where to store certain types of files.
This PR introduces an attempt to add dart-cli-completion/ to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (if set) instead of the top-level home folder. On my machine it results in ~/.config/dart-cli-completion. The behavior remains unchanged for users who have not explicitly set this variable (assuming that they don't care 🙂).
The XDG specification should also be valid for Windows systems, but I'm not familiar enough with Windows to know whether it's a good idea to propagate this change there as well.
Type of Change
[x] ✨ New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
although people currently using the tool will end up with two dart-cli-completion folders (they will have to delete the old one manually)
[ ] 🛠️ Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
[ ] ❌ Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
