Description

Is there a convention for semi-secret things like ~/.ssh/config and ~/.aws/config? These aren't credential but I still don't want to check in IP addresses for private cloud boxes and what not. I made a solution that symlinks out of a ~/.dotfiles-private but wanted to see if there was already a supported path in this project.

Thanks!

Research direction

No project files or tests are named. Start by reading the repository's existing dotfile layout and conventions, then compare them with the proposed ~/.dotfiles-private approach and the ~/.ssh/config and ~/.aws/config examples. Done would require an agreed, documented supported path for semi-secret configuration.
