Kaiser config file shouldn't be a dot file #20

Open Metallion opened 5 years ago

Metallion commented 5 years ago

I'm currently writing some documentation for Kaiser and while digging into the tool's internals I missed the ~/.kaiser/.config.yml for quite a while.

Since ~/.kaiser is already a hidden directory, I think the files in there shouldn't be hidden. I suggest changing it to ~/.kaiser/config.yml and building in a little backwards compatibility layer for people that still have the old .config.yml I'd suggest a function that looks for the dotted file and undots if it exists. If an undotted config file exists already, it should take priority over the dotted one.

Makes sense to not have a hidden file inside of a hidden directory. In fact if we're going to change file paths, I'd suggest following the XDG basedir spec and using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kaiser/$XDG_DATA_HOME/kaiser or similar.

I just noticed there's a couple more hidden files in the ~/.kaiser directory. The default database for example. :) I'll have a read through that spec.
