Please do not put configuration dotfiles directly into user home dir. XDG Base Dir Spec is more than a decade old, majority of cli apps use it, like git for example.

Configuration files should be placed into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME with fallback to $HOME/.config is var isn't set. Or if it's entirely macOS specific, use $HOME/Library/Application Support for this.
