The config file teases me and I want to touch it...it says no. #75

Subterrane commented 8 years ago

Quick, short summary: codekit3.config stares at me.

Expected results: Seems like the filename should start with a . so I won't see it.

Actual results: It sits in with the rest of my site files because I'm too lazy or stupid to use a source folder.

Yep. I don't like invisible files. .jshintrc, .travis.bullshit, .whatthefuckisyml.yml, etc. The visibility of the file lets you quickly identify folders that are CodeKit projects when you're browsing around. If I hid the file, folks would complain that sometimes when they add folders the files in there don't adopt the defaults they set in the app, etc. For those reasons, I leave the file visible.

I've changed my mind. I think you have a good point.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should probably check the config file into git. When I checkout a different branch, it should update the corresponding config file and CodeKit will notice the change and load the new one, right? Then when I switch back to the previous branch, the config changes and CodeKit reloads again, correct?

Or am I being dumb?

@Subterrane indeed you should. But do not forget to pause file-watching while checking out as with CK2. Further reading

While we're at the config-file topic: in CK2 the config file is also visible, but not visible in CK itself. At first I thought it was a bug, that I can process my config file in CK3, but everything works fine.

I think it would be cleaner if the file was not visible in CK. Or are there benefits that I'm not seeing?

Agreed. I just ran into this.

I thought it was a bug. Is it a bug?
