Liftoff crashes on creating a dot file

[mergesort]

I'm trying to add .swiftlint.yml into my project, so that way we have default linting rules setup for everyone.

I added a template named swiftlint.yml into the templates folder, (and before tried .swiftlint.yml but that didn't work either). I then added - <%= "." %>swiftlint.yml into my .liftoffrc, resembling this.

swift:
  - <%= '.' %>swiftlint.yml
  - <%= project_name %>:
  - Modules:

If I remove the '.' prefix, it works fine, but when I run liftoff with a leading period, I get this result now.

Thanks a lot for the tool, it's fantastic! Any suggestions, or anything I may have missed?

Just wanted to bump this issue. Big fan of liftoff, would love to see if it's possible to implement this!

Couldn't you like this: https://github.com/thoughtbot/liftoff/blob/master/defaults/liftoffrc#L28 ?

Yeah, I'd avoid the swift template for this and use the templates key instead. It's annoying that we have both of those. templates is intended to be used for non-source files while the app template whatever is intended to be used for files that will be compiled (or copied or whatever) into your app.

Ah, I didn't realize that, will close. Thanks a lot!
