[PROPOSAL] gh: move files inside `.github/` dir
SauravMaheshkar opened this issue · comments
We could move the SECURITY.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file from the root of the directory to the .github/ directory. Github looks for a contribution guideline file in the following order: .github dir > project root > docs dir (source). Moving the files to the .github/ dir leads to a minimal project structure without any functional change.

I don't see the benefit, moving them into a hidden directory will just make them less discoverable for users.
Well not really, they will still be visible on the sidebar. Repositories like numpy have their Code of Conduct, Contribution Guide and Security profile within the .github/ directory.
In the web UI sure but not when I have a local clone. Given that changing this requires updating basically all repos that link to that file this seems like unnecessary work without any benefit.

Makes sense 👍🏽
