Description
On Linux, pass-cli is inadvertently creatin a .pass-cli sub-directory in the user's home directory 😱
Applications should follow the Freedesktop XDG standard — found here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html.
Using this standard:
$XDG_CACHE_HOME says "temporal/non-essential" files go to $HOME/.cache/$XDG_CONFIG_HOME says "configuration files" go to $HOME/.config/$XDG_DATA_HOME says "data files" go to $HOME/.local/share/
This is just a report to consider using the defined variables for this standard to fix this bug / not bug.
It makes a lot of sense; it is easy for the user to understand, makes it easier to backup / locate / restore / manage / clear user's data, and creates less clutter in the user's home directory.
Thanks in advance...and thanks so much for your hard work on this – it's amazing!
